Lower Myth traverses across southeast Beacon, several descending trails on the Shields and Esmeralda side finish on Lower Myth which then allows riders to make it back to the towers, or the Shields and Esmeralda trail heads. Lower Myth demands more bike handling skills than Middle Myth or Myth. This trail includes numerous minor technical rock rolls and features all easily walkable or with easy ride-arounds.

Access Info

End of trail accessed off of Airport Escalator or Myth. Can also access this trail off of the Zipper and Ninja Camp. Rides easiest East to West. If riding Eastward you will be faced with a few challenging climbs.

      		 There is a small section of trail damage due to a smaller fire. Easy to navigate through.
