9. Mount Lowe, Los Angeles, California
There are a variety of route options descending from the Mount Wilson/Mount Lowe area all the way down to the city below, but one of the best that I found was the Mount Lowe Railway. Actually, I began on the railway and chose a variety of singletrack variants that spurred off the old narrow gauge route, providing a rip-roaring descent all the way down to an amazing burger restaurant at the bottom of the mountain. Check out my article for more info, and hit up Mt. Wilson MTB Adventure for shuttle service.
