Description: This trail starts out with a steady climb, criss-crossing Mission Creek several times as it heads up the canyon. At roughly 3600' the real fun begins when switchbacks come into play. The last two miles are brutal on the legs and lungs, but the views of the surrounding peaks are incredible. The trail tops out at around 4400'. After a rest and refuel at the top, take the trail back down and enjoy some of the smoothest singletrack in the state. It's fast, dry and demanding on the body, but well worth the extensive climb to the top. I would recommend the in and out route of this trail versus taking the fire road up. Take plenty of fluid and energy bars for this one folks!!!

It is a classic trail. You can ride up it but it is quicker (under 2 hrs) to ride the road (FS RD 7100 to 9712). + you don't get in the way of bikers doing 30+mph riding down. You can also shuttle it if you want. It is a fun and very fast trail that everyone should do!

I would recommend a shuttle to the top! We opted to ride the 11 miles up, and it was KILLER. Starts out ok for the first 2 miles but then the hills are STEEP and non stop. After 4.5 hours up, you are too tired to enjoy going down!! take a shuttle!
