Alternate line to mile, that's not as sketchy, and avoids the waterfall.

Mellow mile upper was extremely dry, deep dust, and lots of ruts in the corners. Lower mile was ideal

      Fun trail! Quite steep in a few places (especially some of the switchbacks) with serious exposure. Great views. Advanced intermediates like myself will find it doable – enjoyment depends on how much you like riding steep stuff. Spits out onto the fun and flowy last part of Mile.

      The top half of Old Colma Rd was actually more technical / rocky (but less steep) than Mellow Mile, which has a smoother and more polished feel to it. Impressed by the trail builders!

      Wet and tacky today, a few days with rain and it’ll be primo. Watch out for the slimy roots.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
