TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by rp2050 on March 4, 2008
Take hwy 49 from Auburn Down toward the American river. Arriving at the confluence hwy 49 turns right toward the town of Cool. Do not turn. Continue straight for another 200 yards. Ther will be parking along the left side of the road. The trailhead is just before the bridge on the left. It starts out as double and singletrack. After a moderate climb on pavement you come to a dirt road on the right which is blocked by rocks. Take this trail and follow it across a couple of roads and down to the descent of the opposite river canyon from the one you started on. The descent is fairly simple but for a few technical sections requiring some manuvering through tight rock sections. The trail ends back at the opposite side of the bridge where you started. It's about 8 miles long.

Nt sure how many have reviewed this trail but on trail stats it indicates that the average time is 45 minutes. I can do this trail in sub-40 but that is cookin. I suppose this trail is suitable for beginners but if I were beginning I would not want my first ride to be a 3 mile, 1,000 foot climb. Also the backside of the trail while fun and fast contains a number of marginally technical spots which would be antimidating for beginners. Track is fun but I would take in Connector Trail to Foresthill Divide Loop (about 25 miles). The Clementime, Confluenc Loop is a bit short for me.
