Description

From parking area, cross highway to trail head sign. Follow bike route signs. Surface of road is fairly good on the ascent except for one short, sharp, rocky stretch about 1.5 miles up. Route tops out on Grizzly Ridge about 2.5 miles from beginning, with views to the south from this vantage.

From here descent is steep with a continuous sharp rocky stretch and demands skill to maintain control. Route bottoms out about .5 mile from the top, and the remaining stretch has one slight upgrade before leveling off back to the highway.
