Haven't used this sight before but was wondering if any body knew if the gate at Ranger Creek is open for shuttling?

7174 Corral Pass Road

You can drive up road 72, a 10 mile very nice forest road, can take any rig. Once you get to trail head 1 mile climb to the ranger creek trail than it is 7 miles of some of the sweetest downhill single track I have ridden. We have been getting up there after work a couple of times a week. Trail all to ourselves. Road 7174 is only a 6 mile shuttle but is a rougher road and takes as long to get to the top.

Thanks for the info. Going camping this weekend and hopefully going to do Suntop and Ranger Creek.

may skip the Hood race and shuttle Ranger twice on Saturday, give a pm if you want to hook up.

Taking a right at the shelter at Palisaides is a fun descent too, but you have a little bit of climbing, and you have some hike a bike close to the bottom. But still very much worth it, especially if you're shuttling it more than once, mix it up a bit.

5" is best for all the trails there, even if you ride up and even if you shuttle.
