When the incline was running you could take your bike on it ($2 for you, $.50 for the bike which took up two seats!). Then we would ride up to Barr Camp and ride down. What a great intro to mountain biking!

Awesome Janis! Basically, have fun! Take your time and focus on one step at a time! Take some hydration and snacks, also a rain jacket or something warm just in case. At the top, it can get windy and when you are sweating and you hit that wind at the top...brrr! Also, take some time to stop, pull off to the side of the stairs and really enjoy the view! (small camera works well too!!) :) Watch out for gravel that covers the rr tie, it can be slick. OK that's it I think! haha again, have a blast! Most people get addicted to it after the first go! Enjoy!

Seen that once before, what an awesome idea! The workout up would be a killer but the ride down would be sweet!

Made it today just under 30 from the top of the parking lot trail. My partner and I run the first 1/2 down barr trail and take the incline down the rest, did the whole loop in 56!
