Description
Take Pipeline road, a paved fireroad, from the parking lot along the river and up a steep hill for about a mile. Continue down the hill some until you get to Powder Mill fireroad. Turn left and go up hill until the campground, take another left up Fire Ridge Road to the observation deck for a killer view down to the ocean. Continue down the hill, unfortunately it's a big sand trap for the next half mile. Once Ridge Road crosses Pipeline you get into a sweet forested section. At the next junction go left to the river or right down some steep sections back to Pipeline road. Nothing technical here, just a great workout in beautiful redwoods.

Review: The person that submitted the trail description here has no clue . There are several trails and options here but i would never recommend following any directions that include the words observation deck. You can also ride from cowell to pogonip and back . There is alot of great trails .

Review: Kind of ridiculous. Half of the time I was biking in a sandbox. The views really are spectacular, but the trails are so sandy and eroded that it can be hard to enjoy the ride.
Review: Sandy, pavement and fire road. Not my favorite type of trail. The scenery is pretty good but I probably won't ride it again.
