    Tips

    Mountain biking

    This is the start of the infamous Monarch Crest Trail. You will soon recognize that this is not an easy "downhill shuttle ride". Make sure you don't waste all your energy right at the start. This part has tough high altitude uphill and smooth and flowy downhill sections in between.
