A great new addition to the trail network. This trail now connects to the creek trails, terminating on Timberline. If you are starting at the Ballardini trailhead and heading south, you are climbing pretty much the entire way. The initial couple of miles are quite a tough climb with switchbacks, the rest of the climb is not as steep. Very, very rocky on the older Ballardini trail. A bit less rocky on the newer Sierra Front section that was recently finished. I enjoy this ride, just have to be prepared for a rather difficult first few miles.
