Aug 10, 2015 Pine Canyon Trail (Climb to Rt 87) Trail Report

We shuttled to the top, the pull-off is between MP279 & 280. Parked the other vehicle at the bottom at the Pine Trailhead, just south of Pine. The Trail starts off with some Gnarly Double Black Diamond switch backs. Had to be the Rockiest trail I ever rode, had to get off & hike the bike in a couple spots. Once you get done with the downhill rocky switchbacks the trail gets a little easier to ride. The only bad parts was all the downed trees, it seemed like we were getting off our bikes every 1/8 mile to climb over a log. That's about the 1st, 2 miles of the trail. Once you get to the spot to cross Pine Creek, the trail is awesome for the next couple miles. It reminded me of all those awesome bikes trails we see on You-Tube of the Pacific North West. Awesome dirt, ferns, fast & flowing, in the shade of the tall pines... Then you get to the turn off before Camp LoMia, this is were the current map on Trails Forks is incorrect. You start a pretty good climb up some annoying switchbacks.

6/20/2016-UPDATE... TrailForks map is now correct, it shows the switchbacks at the bottom near Camp LO MIA where the trail was re-routed
