    Tips

    September 25, 2019

    Saxon Creek Trail a.k.a. Mr Toad's Wild Ride (Forest Trail number #18E13) is a well-known classic in the South Tahoe area; but careful: it is a technical, rocky descent for advanced riders only. Helmet and slow speed strongly advised. Most riders will probably walk their bike down some of the most difficult sections of large rock boulders and drops. The trail heads mostly downhill from the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT), with several options for making a loop, e.g. climbing up on Armstrong Pass Trail komoot.com/highlight/149917
    The upper section has many big drops, and sections of nothing but rocks, and a huge stair step section. After the 3.5 miles of real technical sections the final section has banked turns, and can be very fast, with some blind turns followed by pine trees dangerously close to the trail.
