Ridden Trail: Once a month

Cross Country Rider Summary: Excellent trail if you want to clib up some technical switchbacks and haul back down. The trail is technical enough to be fun and challenging. Once at the top you can contuniue on to Nugget Creek or the outlook. Recommended Route: Most other people say to go down the stair side. I've ridden both the stairs and back down the switchbacks, and the switchbacks are way funner. This HAS TO BE one of the best rails in juneau. Other recommended trails in the same area: Moranine Ecology trail, Thunder Mountain trail, West Glacier trail, Tolk Rock

, from Juneau, ALASKA Summary: It is fun to go to the top and hall ass down and try to hit all the animals my best is 5. There are some stairs (go last you can see people eat shit!!!!). One of the best rides in Juneau! Overall I think if you like to eat yellow snow this is the ride for you. Recommended Route: Go up to the top and go down the back side. Other recommended trails in the same area: Bitch

Ridden Trail: Every few months

, from Bellingham, WA, USA Summary: This is my favorite trail in Juneau, even though it has been toned down a little since it was "fixed" for tourist travel. It has a decent elevation gain through some fairly easy switchbacks, just technical enough to be fun. Some people turn around and ride back down the switchbacks, but I prefer the whole trail. The descent down the back side has some good moderately technical drops, after the approximately 110 stairs (which you can ride down). Loop length is about 3 miles. Recommended Route: The best place to start is a trail on the right of the road just before the visitor's center. After climbing a little ways, turn right onto the trail across from the glacial kettle (signed) Don't go up the trail by the shelter, this is the steep side of the loop. If you go the right way, you end up coming down by the shelter. Other recommended trails in the same area: West Glacier

, from boise, idaho Summary: This is technical riding at its best. Hans, the owner of the Mountain Gears shop can clean it. Watch out for the Liposuction Rock. If you keep going you can loop around and come back out onto the road, but you'll have to carry your bike down some stairs. I used to ride this when I lived in Juneau. That was 6 years ago, they may have closed it down now for all I know. Recommended Route: Leaves from behind the VC. Don't go during tourist season. Other recommended trails in the same area: West Glacier Trail
