This route has been designed for the Bigfoot Adventure Challenge (bigfootadventurechallenge.com) but is awesome for anyone looking for a very rural gravel ride from a Shasta County iconic water fall.

The route starts at the amazing Potem Falls and climbs on gravel Fenders Ferry Road to Goose Gap, beyond along Squaw Creek to where Fenders Ferry Road crosses Squaw Creek. Reverse your track back to Potem Falls and enjoy the falls before heading home.

If you are looking for a little bit longer ride, an option is to keep going another 12.5 miles to Bully Hill Mine (Fenders to Salt Creek Road to Bully Hill Mine, here is a Strava route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3071125320627463110 )
