| Description: | South Yuba trail goes along the river for about 19 miles. This day I rode the upper 14 miles up from the trailhead that coincides with South Yuba campground. On the way back, I rode up Missouri Bar trail, and after an unwanted detour stopped at Malakoff Diggings State Historic Park, that preserves houses and area of gold digging days. I was too tired to hop on the Rim Trail that goes above the diggings, and went back to the camp on the road, with a short detour to check out the diggings.
GPS did not fare very well on this ride, the river canyon was deep and wooded. The trip length according to my computer was 60 km and just about 2300 m vertical climbing. |
