Just to let you know, the trail is a riot. It has 13 miles of flow, technical, fast, climbs, and all singletrack. One of the best trails in my opinion. Its pretty easy to navigate, go to the Deep Lake Campground and park just past the ranger post to the right where the sign says ?Bike Staging.? Gear up and head out on the dirt road towards where you entered and to your left will be the start of the trail. This is a 2 mile loop and then you will end in the parking lot, go directly across the dirt road to pick up the next 11 miles. Follow the signs and each mile is numbered. From about Mile 6 to Mile 11 is my favorite part of the trail. Technical, great ridge climbs with the pines being my absolute fav.
Anyways best of luck and let?s hear how your ride went afterwards!
