Purpose-built singletrack drops from the Mills Peak lookout area through pines, shaped turns, and embedded rock. Its flowing character is a draw, while sustained descending rewards confident bike handling.

Distance: About 8–9 mi

Effort: Intermediate · sustained descent

Climbing/descending: Nearly 3,000 ft descending

Allow: 1½–3 hr riding

From the Lodge: About 15 min to lower access

Bike: Dependable mountain bike

Plan: Arrange a confirmed shuttle or second vehicle and match your map to the upper and lower access. The trail finishes near Gold Lake Highway and Highway 89; shuttle availability needs direct confirmation.

Host tip: Pause at the lookout before dropping into the forest. Let the view give the ride a sense of place.

Before you ride: Shared, bidirectional trail. Intermediate terrain can feel advanced with speed, fatigue, rocks, or exposure.
