El Dorado Canyon Loop

Route Stats

45 miles, 5200' climbing

Estimated Time: 4-7 hrs

Technical

Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Sand: 🏖🏖


El Dorado Canyon has sections of relatively smooth gravel interspersed with countless creek crossings many of which are very rocky. 

Water Sources

Multiple creek crossings in El Dorado Canyon (seasonal?). Riding clockwise you should hit this at the end of the ride. No water or services rest of the loop. 

Recommended Tire Size

50c+, MTB likely preferred by many due to El Dorado Canyon. 

Additional Beta

Remote. No cell service most of route. The Pine Nuts are notoriously rough. Be prepared with extra tools/tubes. 


The route below is CCW, could be ridden CW as well, but would not recommend descending El Dorado without a mountain bike.
