Description
This trail is multi-directional, but it is primarily used by mountain bikers for uphill access to the Chutes decent. For this reason, I recommend descending via this trail. It is a windy, flow trail build by/for mountain bikers, but hikers are permitted. This trail makes a great loop with Gold Camp Path connected via Chamberlain Trail. Trail is very well-marked at both the Gold Camp Rd. and Chamberlain Trail junctions. Mods, I recommend that you delete the Chutes Link trail; it does not exist anymore. There's been A LOT of construction in this area and MTB groups are fighting for MTB only trails; I'll try to keep TRP as up to date as possible.
