Description
Mt. Elden Trail starts along Shultz Pass Road and climbs from 7,100 feet to over 9,000 feet in just 6 miles. Take a breather at the lookout towers.
You'll need to locate the "catwalk", a singletrack heading north back towards Shultz Creek. Soon you'll end up on Sunset Trail on the north side of Little Mt. Elden. At mile 10, you will come upon a parking lot. Ride to the left through the lot and plummet down Schultz Creek Trail. This is VERY FAST singletrack.
.This is an advanced ride for serious climbers only.
