A singletrack parallels the highway on the west side for about 5 miles and is obvious. Once
you
see giant powerlines ahead, take a right (head west) on nebulous trails towards the hills.
You are shooting for a low gap about 300 yards north from where the powerlines come
down from
the hills. Singletrack becomes obvious as you enter the main gully and is sometimes
covered with cow manure here. Climb steeper and rockier singletrack (1/2 mile climb) to
the pass. Blast down the singletrack for 1/4 mile to a VERY steep section with rocks that
could be ridden by radsters. Continue through some tricky singletrack to a wide dirt road.
Turn north (right) on dirt road and do a short climb up switchbacks. At the top of the hill,
head left on a twin track for 50 yards then straight down the hill heading east. A singletrack
follows the
lowest part of the gully. Keep headed downhill, slightly towards Beowawe. A network of
roads can get you back but I like to stay on the singletrack back to the highway, then head
left for 1/2 mile to get back to Beowawe. PM me with questions if you'd like.
Take I-80 to exit 266 (Beowawe/Crescent Valley). Drive 6 miles to idlyllic Beowawe. Park <br />and start from the "old" school parking lot in Beowawe. Head south next to highway 306.
