Enduro Day and Darkside Transition Schedule
In the late morning, we head above the 4000-foot elevation to ride where it is cool and less traveled. We are the only outfitter with access to Charlton Flats, Chilao, Red Box, and West Fork.
The trails range from 2.2 to 4.5 miles, and their proximity to roads make them easy to session. Expect to ride 17-21 miles and to descend around 11,000 feet before returning to your car.
The final drop is either Eaton Saddle or Mt. Wilson Observatory. If you are unsure of which shuttle to sign up for, this is the one. You will sample a lot of the mountain.
