Just a couple of STM members out having a casual ride in Auburn, California. Perfect weather and just a great day to do the Forest Hill Divide Loop. We seen about a dozen other riders out there just having a blast. This is a great trail for any beginners out there that like to get started in this exhilarating and adventures hobby. The loop is about 10 to 12 miles. There is free parking in a couple of different locations along Forest Hill Rd. They are easy to find do to all the cars that are usually parked by the trail entrances. There are portable bathrooms located at two locations along the trail close to the rode. Makes it very convenient before you head off on your bikes. Traffic goes both ways so be careful. Many riders find it best to go counter clockwise and I do as well. This trail hooks up with the Connector Trail and the Connector Trail runs into the Clementine. If you do those trails with the Forest Hill Divide you may want to plan on bringing a second vehicle to shuttle back to the top.
