Take either the blue trail (single track), white trail (single track/hike a bike), or the fire road all the way up to the old casino. From there if you keep taking the fire road it will take you up to the fire tower. Once at the fire tire there is nothing but fast down hill in any direction. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
