Monolith Gardens trail is an easy to intermediate loop system with some technical climbs and downhills. June 2011 Foothills Rim trail (a technical intermediate) was connected at 3 location to the Monolith trail adding an additional 10.35 miles to the trail system.

The most popular direction to ride the trail is counter-clockwise but is also fun and more challenging riding clockwise. The trail is fast and flowing with plenty of climbing and fast downhills, elevations are approx 3500 - 3900 ft.

      Nice trail. Pay attention. Easy to get off trail.
      RocklinDave
      Crazy rocky! We’re not used to miles and miles of serious bumpy riding. Nice area, views and route, but hard to recommend.

      Watch for some new trail spurs they are adding that don't show up on TF yet.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
