Guardians Trail

Overview

This trail is an expert trail with exposed technical singletrack. It's all downhill with some extreme drop-offs along the trail edges. Intermediate riders will hike a bike a good amount on this trail. <br><br>All along the trail are views of Chico Creek Canyon below and the valley to the west. The birds will be soaring below you along this trail. It is generally recommended to ride this trail down, ascending Ten Mile House Road from the South Rim Trail or the trails on the north side of the park (wet crossing, unsafe during high water).
