Eastview Mountain Bike Trail

From the lower trailhead on Forest Road 2080, the first two miles of the Eastview Trail winds up Forest Road 2080700 (closed to motorized use) with panoramic views of upper Bear Creek Valley and Emigrant Lake. At two miles, the road forks and the route continues to the right another 0.1 miles before leaving the road. The single track trail heads uphill on the left and meanders another 0.4 miles up to meet Road 2080 at the upper trail terminus. Along the way. the trail passes beneath some huge old Sugar Pine sentinels. The East View Trail was constructed as a mountain bike 'tie trail' to provide a loop off the popular Tolman Creek Road (Forest Road 2080). The trail can be ridden or hiked in either direction (2.5 miles one way). It can be used in conjunction with Road 2080 to create a four mile loop, or it can be incorporated in to a longer ride originating in Ashland (17 miles from Siskiyou Boulevard up Tolman Creek Road [2080] to upper terminus, down the trail and back to the starting point.) Special Considerations: This trail is closed to motor vehicle use; however, administrative traffic (fire patrol, reforestation contracts, etc.) occurs routinely on the 2060700 road so be alert for oncoming vehicles. If you're riding one of the loops keep in mind that Road 2080 receives a fair amount of vehicle traffic. Bikers should control their speed of descent, and be especially watchful for oncoming cars or trucks. Carry sufficient water and a snack or lunch.
