Fire road is over the gate where you stay right till passed the bridge. At the first crossing go left on to what seemes to be a Rail Road Grade. In about 8 miles of following the river canyon is a paved road. Turn left on pave road then left on other side of the bridge back on to fire trail which follows canyon back on the other side but higher up on hillside. We scouted this on our third ride ever. You can ride so fast after seeing your first Bear Bottom. Please get a map
About 5 miles above Arnold into big trees pay you $ then buy a topo map Follow Memorial prkway to the end passed. Beaver Creek Picnic area park at end of paved loop.
