East Declaration Trail #416

East Declaration is a short single track in the CDA National Forest. Riding south to north, it is a steady incline from Independence Creek to Faset Peak Road. The trail is narrow, but up to 2 feet wide in sections. The trail gets pretty heavy use, shown by banked corners, ruts, whoops, and break bumps. This one gets dusty and has more sun exposure. There are small to medium size roots that are dry and easy to get up. The trail has mild ledge exposure at the beginning and more moderate exposure at the top. Beautiful views of the hillsides and surrounding mountains once you get to the top.
