Trail Overview

RH 29 is a more challenging trail best suited for intermediate riders, and can be even more difficult in wet conditions. Starting from the north, it immediately presents embedded rock layers forming 6-inch ledges along a narrow path, followed by loose rock as it curves across a hillside. The trail narrows between overgrown tree branches beneath a lush canopy and features an extremely steep, loose climb with ruts that make maintaining momentum and traction difficult--particularly when wet. Riders should be cautious of a significant washout on one of the corners. The ascent continues with tight switchbacks, rocks, and ruts before reaching a high point and transitioning to a smooth, easy path leading to the intersection with RH 40. Despite the absence of large drops or shelves, the sustained steep grade and surface conditions add to its technical demands.
