LOCAL PHOTOGRAPH / THE LOST SIERRA
Tollgate adds a more aggressive character to the mountain: rock gardens, fast transitions, and larger constructed features. Choose it when the extra challenge is something your group actively wants.
Distance: About 11 mi
Effort: Advanced
Climbing/descending: About 100 ft up / 3,800 ft down
Allow: 2–4 hr riding
From the Lodge: 45–55 min to Quincy
Bike: Modern trail or enduro bike
Plan: Review the current alignment and features with Yuba Expeditions before committing to the shuttle. Select a route for the whole group’s technical confidence.
Host tip: If anyone is unsure, choose the classic Hough descent first and build from that experience.
Before you ride: Advanced terrain rewards protection, dependable brakes, and deliberate line choices. Do not assume a feature has an appropriate alternative without checking it.
