i would switch the direction and go clockwise - smooth descent and the trip back up will have a mix of steep hiking and more level riding so it is easier to make it back up (for me) if it want for the steepness, i would give it the highest rating - you will get wiped out unless you are really fit

Climbing up 2nd half feels like twice the distance. Definately bring lots of water. Cool off in the river at the top and the bottom of the ride. Too bad the ride doesn't start going up and end coming down.

The first (4) miles were awesome, heading down the hill and crossing the creek, then great great views looking towards eastern Oregon. The last (5) miles pretty much straight up. Hot & dusty. Bring lots of water. Definitely for the intermediate to advanced rider. Jump in the creek to cool off at the end of the ride.
