Mt. Tabor - Craig Creek Loop

This ride has outstanding scenery if you don't mind taking skinny tires on a few miles of gravel road. Actually, the unpaved parts are just smooth packed dirt and are not steep. Watch out for the turns on the steep descent of Miller's Cove - certain people have been known to crash here. If you've done this loop going one direction, be sure to try it in reverse also.

Distance: 47.3 mi.
