Babad Do'ag Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Have you ever heard of the Lemmon Drop? Well, it is very common to take a shuttle to the start of the Lemmon Drop (or anywhere along the Lemmon Drop for that matter) with Home Grown MTB Tours. But, some of us don't want to shuttle and just want to ride an entire loop. If you do want to ride the loop, this is the place to park your car. Let's start your 55+ miles adventure with well over 10.000 ft. of climbing (and descending). The climb is on the main road (so mostly asphalt).

Do you rather shuttle? Here's the link to Home Grown: homegrownmtb.com
