      Starts off as a single track then about a third in turns back into a fire road with a very steep section, near the top in the last third it goes back to a moderately steep single track.

      Decent scenery, but 680 is more like a mini fire road with off camber turns. Can be used as a connector from goat trail (big Rock ridge), back over to solstice.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
