Steep grades for biking
By matt b on June 05, 2003
"Lots of climbing for a joy ride in the summer heat. Although this wasn't the greatest fun-ride, I came back in the spring and had a great hike filled with wonderful views and lots of wildflowers.

Bring water if it's warm. Nice area of the country if you want to ""really"" get away."
Poor surface

We attempted to bike this trail last summer but soon gave up. The scenery is reasonably nice but the surface is very rocky.
