8501F & EG

This trail is a short loop in the Bocco mountain trail system. It departs from trail 8501E at a wooden fence post. Traverse across the side of a low alpine mountain through small pine trees and sage brush. It becomes very tight and twisty with short climbs and descents with lots of brake bumps. It comes to a fantastic view of a rocky ridge line on the mountain in front of you and a red cliffside. It continues as a very windy trail through the trees and comes to another viewpoint overlooking highway I-70, which is pretty cool as it's hundreds of feet below you. After the viewpoint there are several really steep downhills that are a loose dirt and rock surface. There are small rocks and roots across the trail and small rock drop offs. One of the downhills is right on the edge of the mountain side, which adds some mild exposure. There's often very sharp turns at the bottom of these hills. It ends with another big hill climb full of brake bumps and ends at a dirt road.
