This route has been designed for the Bigfoot Adventure Challenge (bigfootadventurechallenge.com) but is great for anyone looking for a mostly gravel ride near Redding and Whiskeytown Lake.
The route starts at the French Gulch County Park along Trinity Mountain Road in French Gulch and then north along Trinity Mountain Road until a left on Highland Ridge Road. From there it's a long climb along Highland Ridge Rd until the top of the Ridge and County Line Road. From there, enjoy the views and head north along the up and down County Line Road until a hard right on the paved Trinity Mountain Road and a long, fun decent back to your start.
