This 7.2 miles of dirt road and 2.2 miles of old broken highway is for the advanced rider wanting to tackle real steep pulls. There is a variety of outstanding vistas and numerous riparian areas that provide wonderful viewing opportunities. The mini reservoirs along this ride offer wildlife viewing of waterfowl, raptors and large game. There is dog water available all along this route.
Due to the increasing public interest in mountain bike routes, the Alturas Resource Area has created three routes with spectacular vistas and breathtaking panoramas for all ability levels. During summers, the Modoc High School Academy Crew, Boy Scouts, and other volunteers have installed and maintained a lot of the signs you'll see along these bike routes. The varied terrain of these routes are on old roads or trails which are usually not maintained. Take along water or be sure you purify water you take from creeks or streams. Weather can be very unpredictable in this area, so be prepared. Wear your helmet, stay alert, always ride with a buddy and let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. If you are riding in an unknown area, taking along appropriate maps and a compass can help you find your way. If you need further information, please feel free to call or stop by our office.
