What an awesome spot. This trip I decided to explore Shasta and Ashland. Planned on a trip to Prospect one day and then a remote mtb trail above the Applegate Valley Resevoir the next. Day I arrived in Shasta ran 6 miles around the lake and day 2 hiked up to Hidden Valley at 9k feet. Prospect is day 3. I knew is was going to be warm today so nice to find all was forested as got there at 9:30. Rode trail 2 as I wasn't sure what to expect. It was some of the best trail conditions I've found. Typical NW loamy singletrack. Just what I needed. Easy access and free. I did hear tonight there was a good rain recently and normally it can be dusty.https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3947516518 Happy to say the 310 never ran better.
Day 1 - Sunset run around the lake. Day 2 - Up to Hidden Valley. A few boulder fields to cross. The last pitch... I got about 40 feet below the ridge and was pretty loose so called it good at 9k feet.

Yes. This is image/pano is a little higher up at 9k and as far as I went. Garmin Mini. Good on the moto and the mountain. https://share.garmin.com/JohnGoodman
A few shots of the Cook and Green Trail and the end of Applegate Resevoir and into CA. Rode this as an out and back today just shy of where it intersects the PCT. It's open to motorcyles and bikes. A ton of poison oak had me shopping for technu on the way out. Except for the flies and the poison oak it's an awesome trail. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3951299574
