Trail Overview

This route serves as one of the primary bypass options for the more intimidating main line of the legendary Widow Maker hill climb. It is a fantastic alternative for riders who want to experience the thrill of the ascent without the "all-or-nothing" commitment of the most vertical face. Whether you are using it as a safer way to reach the summit or a quick escape route to get back down in a pinch, it keeps you connected to the action. You still get those same incredible views without the extreme risk.

Difficulty

The difficulty level remains pretty high, as this bypass is still a significant climb compared to the standard access roads. Expect plenty of deep ruts carved out by heavy weather and the spinning tires of those who came before you. You will need to maintain steady momentum and pick your line carefully to avoid getting cross-rutted on the way up.
