Steep and technical alpine-style trail dropping from Angora Lakes trailhead down to Fallen Leaf. Upper half is mostly rideable by a skilled rider, while the lower portion can be ridden clean by very few. Odds are better for you if you have solid trials technique. Mandatory hike-a-bike uphill. The lower end of the trail ends at private property. Bikes are not permitted to access, or cross, the private property.

Access Info

Begins between the upper and lower Angora Lakes parking lot and ends at the Fallen Leaf Chapel adjacent to the Fallen Leaf Fire House. The lower end of the trail ends at private property. Bikes are not permitted to access, or cross, the private property.

      Trail's as good as it ever is: gnarly, super-steep, technical, and rocky, all the way down!
