Routes

The Griz!
Over 10,000 foot elevation accumulated climbing on full route (72 or 80 mile/8,000' climb option available). Lunch at Mile High Vista. Pines, mixed conifer, red fir forests, meadows, High Sierra views and Cold Springs Summit (7,308'). 11.8 mile/4,000' descent to Bass Lake!! One of the best rides in California. 5 rest stops, 2 water stops. New for 2014 the Scenic Byway option 95 miles, 9,500' climbing. Skip the Grizzly Road. Continue past Arch Rock towards Jackass Meadow. Includes 9 miles of gravel so be prepared. Limited SAG on this section. Rejoins main Griz route before Cold Springs Rest stop.

Byway Grinder (NEW)

About 100 miles -- a new addition to the Griz. 19 miles of new route, with a 9.5 mile grinder section of road beyond the Arch Rock Turn off. The road is half paved and half a combination of gravel, oil, native surface, etc. Bypasses the Grizzly Road. 25 - 28 mm tires are highly recommended if you choose this route! It will NOT be supported by sags, so be prepared! That said, it should be a great experience.
