This trail winds to the top of Mount Eddy. The views of Mount Shasta and the surrounding mountains are definitely worth the hike. Speaking of the hike, it is challenging as you reach 9000 ft. The Forest Service has posted no bike signs and had them removed; if this continues there is a likelihood the entire Deadfall Lakes Trail (aka a part of the Sisson-Callahan NRT) may be lost to MTB's.

This is a no-bike trail!!! The switchback turns are in loose material and have been eroded out by bikes See the USFS Interactive Visitor map.

 Switchbacks on this steep trail are being gouged out by the need for bikes to brake hard and come to virtual stop at each switchback. Not sure...

      Believe as of the summer of 2020 bikes are no longer allowed on this section.

      As I mostly pushed/occasionally rode up up this, I thought the descent would be no fun, but it actually rides better than you'd expect and I had a good time. Nose pivots are your friend on this one. And the trail is a must-do for the views from Mt. Eddy on a clear day. Much better than the views at the saddle.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
