The 6.5-mile Quincy Taylorsville Connector "connects near the top of Upper Taylor Creek on the front side of Hough at just under 6,000 feet, then drops off the backside of the mountain in a smooth, flowing singletrack that meets up with China Grade Road just above Taylorsville at about 3,500 feet," according to a press release.
QTC connects to the Taylor Creek and Upper Taylor Creek trails, and together, they create a 13.5-mile singletrack connection between the two towns. Looking at the maps, a bit of dirt road riding is also required on both ends to reach the actual downtowns of Quincy and Taylorsville.
"QTC adds another route option to the vast Mt. Hough multi-use network, and also opens up a new avenue of potential multi-day hiking, mountain biking or moto adventures with a stop-over at the campground in Taylorsville and re-supply options at Grizzly Bite Cafe or Young’s Market," the release continues.
