Medium length ride in Mariposa. These rides are not easy. Be self contained and have all your gear and water. Be ready to solve any mechanical issues. You will be in the middle of nowhere with very very limited access if anything goes wrong.

It’s dry out there but the threaded grasses are golden. The meadows look like fields of gold right now. Enjoy it while you can.
