Trail Overview
Trail 69 is a two-way single track, though most riders will find the steep 1,000-foot climb from the south entrance very challenging, and it's best ridden downhill. It begins as a forest shelf road before turning into primitive single track along a narrow hillside shelf, gradual for the first half mile. The trail turns into the hillside and starts to climb steeply with root obstacles, narrow side-hilling, and tight switchbacks. Logs may block portions of the route, and the hillside exposure leaves little room for correction.
Difficulty
This is an advanced trail due to its steep, root-covered climbing sections, exposure, and the tight, narrow path along the hillside.
