    Tips

    April 10, 2015

    Coast down a (technical, in some places) singletrack along the side of a hill sloping gently down to the ocean against wide-open coastal views. Zane Gray Cutoff connects to Wilder Ridge Loop.

      July 31, 2019

      Climbing up this singletrack is possible but tough in some technical sections, better to do the loop in a clockwise direction descending this trail. Awesome views!

        April 14, 2022

        Great trail with some techy bits. Going down this trail is way more fun than using it as an uphill trail, but – as always – this is a matter of taste.
