Ridgeline traverses, shaded singletrack, rocky passages, and real pedaling give this ride a cross-country rhythm alongside a major descent. It suits riders who want variety rather than the quickest route down.

Distance: About 15 mi

Effort: Intermediate to advanced

Climbing/descending: About 500 ft up / 4,200 ft down

Allow: 3–5 hr

From the Lodge: 45–55 min to Quincy

Bike: Trail mountain bike

Plan: Download the full King’s Crossing–Taylor Creek alignment and confirm the lower connections and finish. Decisions around Chandler and Berry Creek affect how you leave the mountain.

Host tip: Carry enough food to enjoy the ride as a journey. Stop before the group becomes rushed or hungry.

Before you ride: Distance and connectors matter as much as descending. Confirm shuttle arrangements and the route’s current condition.
