This loop provides a sample of the major riding sectors in upper bidwell park. There are great views to be had along north rim and guardians and as a result difficult climbs, especially the 10 mile house road climb. There is some technical sections on B trail and some technical and exposed areas on guardians. If you want a mellower ride consider coming back middle trail or annie-bidwell trail.
