This mixed terrain route starts and finishes at the "M" hill and takes you up to the Granite Memorial, providing spectacular views of Butte and an opportunity to soak in the town's rich history. This is a great ride to do if you are new to Butte, or wanting a break from more difficult singletrack climbs.

It can be ridden in either direction, although I recommend riding it counter clockwise as you will have the majority of your ascent on a paved path, and the majority of your descent on dirt singletrack. Connecting these two distinct sections is a mixture of Sealed and gravel roads that take you through Walkerville.
