Mountain Biking Mailboxes

****   Add a review
#79 of 1,004 mountain bike trails in California
#1,372 in the world

This is a pretty fast downhill trail. Has a few Northshore items thrown in, a few good log drops and a couple VERY technical lightning fast downhills. Good riding for most abilities. Where the trail branches (2 times), you will want to take the left fork. Ends up in the middle of wide open pasture, which you follow that trail back to Empire Grade. Very fun ride!!
