Coming from the north end, it's a moderate descent to the river. The trail along the river is pretty tough with some walking sections. The south end climb would be very tough with a lot of walking. Riding down that way is not a picnic either with tight steep switchbacks next to the river and super rocky sections above.
Going out and back on the north side of the loop might be the best option.

Nice views, take this thing counterclockwise unless you love rock gardens. Death by a thousand pedal strikes.

      Hiked this and loved it. Great terrain and views. A lot of it would be rideable (south to north may be a bit more doable), but most will need to walk sections. The steep part on the south end is…steep. A good rider could probably ride down.

      I agree with previous posts. My son and I did this in the heat of summer, north to south, on MTBs. It was brutal coming up out of there! Nice down at the river, though.

      I rode this north to south and it is definately a challenge. If you are in good shape and go into it understanding you will be pushing your bike quite a bit it's not so bad. Great workout, beautiful views, dunk your head in the river at the bottom to cool off.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
