Homestead is mostly a two-track or doubletrack trail though some areas are diminishing to singletrack. It is signed as Trail 12 on the ground. Most downhills are quite fast, and there are some steep climbs. It passes through beautiful mixed conifer forests throughout. It is one of the better trails in the park for mountain biking imo. It can be connected with Elk Meadow trail and Cheesman Trail for a nice ride.
