    Great for beginners or anyone that wants to ride through one of the prettiest canyons around. We did an out an back from the bottom in Susanville. It was raining pretty had so we turned around at Devils Corral. It was a beautiful ride. We did a little of the single track on the side and it was NICE. Next time I'll do all of the "South Side Singletrack".

    Great ride from Susanville up through the canyon, especially scenic in the spring and fall. One of the best examples of Rails to Trails Ive ridden yet. Perfect for novices or just a great cardio ride.
