A big cross country-style ride near Silver Lake, Granite Lake, and via the Hidden Lake Trail.
Mountain Biking Difficult
This loop serves up a classic XC-style mountain bike ride in the greater Silver Lake area.
Begin with a long jeep road climb to access the top of the ridge and the beginning of the Hidden Lake Trail. This trail drops quickly off the ridge, through some moderately-challenging rocks, all the way down toward Silver Lake.
Near Silver Lake, you have the option to add on a little extra out-and-back if you haven't had enough yet. Or, you can cut the loop slightly shorter if you're eager to get back to the car.
