Browns Bar Trail
DESCRIPTION:
No bikes. At best this is a steep descent to Brown’s Bar and Quarry Road Trail/Western States Trail (Tevis). The trail follows an old road and crosses the Western States Trail (runners) before it drops to the bottom and the Quarry Road Trail/Western States Trail (Tevis Cup). This combination offers loop opportunities, but going down is much, much easier than up.
