Mountain Bike
This is a series of 7 trails ("Magnificent 7") which make up a new (mostly) single-track incarnation of the classic Gemini Bridges shuttle descent. The seven trails are: Bull Run, Arth's Corner, Little Canyon, Gold Bar, Golden Spike, Poison Spider and Portal. Gold Bar is 1.2 miles of singletrack and 2.3 miles of 4x4 road. Golden Spike is 5.2 miles of nasty 4x4 road. Poison Spider is 7.4 miles of rough, churned up 4x4 road. Choose your poison. The singletrack at the upper end (including a loop called the "Great Escape") are great fun and make any inconvenience totally worth it. The attached GPS map suggests a variation of singletrack down to the end of "Little Canyon," then take the "Gold Bar Rim 4x4 back to Gemini Bridges Road to it's lower terminus (and where you want your shuttle vehicle to be waiting).

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.
