Trail Overview

PC 18 is a 2.1-mile route that descends steadily from south to north, starting as a fast, flowing option early in a ride from the Pinnacle Creek staging area. The trail runs shelf-like along the hillside with gradual and sometimes blind corners, water bars, and occasional mud puddles. A few large but manageable hairpin switchbacks are present along the descent. The path narrows slightly as it traverses steep hillsides, with minor embedded rocks, ruts, and a few stretches of heavier loose rock. All intersections along the trail are well marked, and the overall difficulty remains easy and accessible.
