Sierra Buttes Lookout Tower

0 reviews

Death incarnate. Just be in pretty damn good riding shape before tackling this ride. It also helps to have some technical skill as the trail nearly all the way to the top is on loose, rocky trails or dusty OHV trails. However, the views from the top of the lookout tower are ineffable. You just have to get up there and see for yourself. I have some pictures up on some website, but I won't share them since it might give you an excuse to not do this ride. According to my altimeter, we did 5,260 feet of climbing in 12.5 miles.
