Tips

🕊️ 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓

July 20, 2016

The Methuselah trail initially continues the wonderfully single track flowing downhill bliss of El Corte De Madera Creek Trail and North Leaf Trail to the bottom at the two wooden bridges crossing the creek, then it climbs back up to Skyline Blvd, initially as a single track, then as a steep but wider fire road to a 4-way crossing: to the left Manzanita and Fir Trails can take you back to Skeggs Parking or just to the beginning of the loop -- where you can do it all again :-)
Or take Manzanita Trail right to Gordon Mill Trail for another sweet loop.
To see or follow the whole loop, check out komoot.com/tour/10597358 or another loop option: komoot.com/tour/13400112

Densely forested drop and climb out of the Corte de Madera Creek canyon, with some tight switchbacks, fun both down and on the way back up (easier if traveling Eastbound).

What a great singletrack! The part from the end of North Leaf down to the bottom is one of the best trail segments in the park.
