Ride starts at 4,800 feet and tops out at 7,400 feet elevation. This ride can be more than doubled in length by continuing down the North side of the mountain, connecting with Ophir Grade and riding to Virginia City. Technically, the ride is easy, but requires a high level of fitness due to the climbing.
