We used this route for a group ride on 5-3-22. It was a great route so we will use it again for our group ride on 5-9-23.
Most of the uphill on this route is on doubletrack, most of the downhill is on singletrack. Overall its not too steep. The steepest climbing grades are found on the last climb heading back up to the parking lot.
