Doran Point

Trail Overview

Doran Point Trail is the natural continuation of the Robins Gulch Trail, which will take you to the Rye Creek staging area just off Rye Creek Road. Overall, this is a lower-than-average elevation trail for this area, so earlier-season rides may be possible, as it is open from December 1st until October 15th. However, this trail will still be snow-covered in spots until early May, as most of it is on a north-facing slope. A good majority of this trail is double track that turns into a single-vehicle-wide road in some sections. If starting from the west end, there is a Y-intersection at mile 0.6. Take the left Y to stay on this trail. There are a fair number of opportunities to pass someone if needed, as some wide spots do exist. The surface of the trail is mostly fine gravel, with some small ruts from runoff, sections of small-diameter rocks toward the east end, a light amount of potholes, and some lightly off-camber sections. Overall, this is an easy trail, but there are a couple of narrow spots where a full-size pickup will brush against branches on both sides of the trail.
