Follow Green Trail (Pinion Pine) as it descends for several miles down canyon (Clock-wise), then winds back up. On the return, at the junction of Pinion Pine and Blue Trail, turn up canyon to pedal back to Sawmill, or for a fun finish, head down to dirt lot if you planned a short shuttle. Not a very technical route, but significant climbing at elevation and remoteness would make this intermediate.

      This is a green beginner trail nothing difficult about it. I'll stay at bootleg thank you very much.

      Not a fun ride, the clockwise decent is decent, but good luck staying on trail as there are many unmarked forks/roads. By the way it's impossible to pedal back up the gravel pits on a standard MTB , turns into a hike very quickly.

      It is a very complicated trail, there is a lot of loose stones and it is difficult to pedal, even the slope is very difficult. I don't recommend it unless you have an e-bike. If you decide to do the Trail, I recommend you bring plenty of water and snacks.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
