Cross Country Rider Summary:
I start at the Grizzly Flat parking lot which is on Skyline Rd. about 3 miles north of Highway 9. I bomb down Grizzly Flat for 2 miles down to the Canyon Trail, then there is about a 2 mile gradual climb up Canyon Trail after which I turn up Indian Creek Trail for a steep 1000 ft. climb up to the top of the preserve. I take a break at the backpack camp, then I ride down Old Ranch to Buena Vista (All Sweet Single Track). Turn right @ Canyon Trail, Loop Around White Oak Trail (White Oak Trail offers a nice semi-technical-rocky downhill drop. I stay on White Oak Trail until the end at that point I cross Skyline Blvd. and turn left onto the Bridge Trail. Bridge Trail takes you back to the Grizzly Flat Parking lot. This is a about a 14 mile ride with a lot of good climbing, downhilling and variety of terrain. Recommended Route:
Grizzly Flat to Canyon Trail to Indian Creek, down on Old Ranch to Buena Vista, right on Canyon Trail, looop around White Oak to Bridge Trail back to origin. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Saratoga Gap, Russian Ridge, Stevens Canyon up Charcoal Rd.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
One of the best rides. You get every type of terrain in one 15 mile trek. Fast technical riding with rocky terrain, rooty terrain, smooth single tracks, just awesome riding. The only thing it lacks is steep chutes. There are a few to blaze however rangers have blocked off most of the good ones. They need to change the riding rules for this ride. A bunch of one ways suck. People get irrate at riding down the sweet single track. Keeping the single track one way uphill is absolute waste. Tests your riding skill. Some sketchy areas that you can slam and go over bars or down ravines. Recommended Route:
Can't tell you. Its a secret.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Per the other posts: This is a great ride!! Note that the Charcoal/Table Mountain trail is uphill only!!!! I don't like rules either, but please respect them and keep this trail open. I encountered some 'downhillers' on the uphill singletrack. Please do not give The Man a reason to close any more trails to mt bikers. Whoever the 2 of you were, you need a DH bike + body armor on this trail?!? Puuhlease!! And if you ever do crash into me (like Cmac threatens below), I will provide you with a worthy reason to wear your body armor right there and then. Recommended Route:
It's all good. Please respect and contribute to keep this trail open. Other recommended trails in the same area:
SDF, ECdM, UC Santa Cruz, Coe

This place is pretty cool, an awesome up-hill 2 mile-ish ride(don't know the name) from the first parking lot, before the dam. fair warning: watch out for kids walking. people riding dh(: also, HORSES on weekends, on single tracks/ dh. what are they thinking!?? anywho, the place is BIG, and the views are sweet!
oh, and no rangers the last 4 times gone. Recommended Route:
Start from the first lot, go left at the first bike-allowed entrance, go flat for a while and climb, climb, climb!
