This is indeed a Shortcut but is signed strangely. At the end of Off The Top, go left and take Beach Cruiser around Reds Lake, or go right and take a section of Beach Cruiser that continues as Shortcut past the service road. Got that? The section around Reds Lake is beautiful, but sandy, and a lot of pedaling, and it adds another climb. Shortcut cuts off a lot of this pedaling. There isn't anything special about this trail, just be ready to make a quick turn, almost a U-turn, to get onto Beach Cruiser or you will end up on Mountain View.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
