Description

Tussey Mountain Trail is one of the best and well know trails in Roth Rock. It offers great views and great ridge riding. A must do trail.

You can ride it as an out and back starting from Bear Meadows road. Ride past the Beer tap and it loops back to the tap. Or you can continue down The Tussey extension for more singletrack bliss.

Awesome, long trail along the ridge with some nice views. Relatively consistent elevation for most of it but a lot of challenging boulder sections.
