The "Bighorn Rim" trail rolls along the huge cliffs above the 3rd Silver Springs Lake. The views from the rim are amazing as the trail hugs the cliff edge over 500 feet above the lake! The whole trail is rideable, but still needs work. Biker traffic is especially needed so come check it out. It takes up to 2 hours round trip and it's pretty dry so bring plenty of water! (and patchkit/tube) Watch for orange flagging.
To get there cross the river at Elko and ride up the gated road to the right after the bridge. Climb the big hill then roll down to open flats across from the sawmill. The road enters trees and you'll see a steep road to the left with a ditch across it. Climb through the grass up to the right of the ditch and follow an overgrown road that heads right then switchbacks up. For the thirsty dog there's a spring that crosses the main road just past this junction. Near the 3rd switchback the down trail joins from the right. Climb further and turn right at a road into larch forest. Follow this road up to open grasslands where the downtrail is to the right marked by rock cairns. At the second opening a rock bluff crosses the road. To your right is the downtrail marked by flagging and rock cairns. Remember this when coming down! Continue up shortly and keep an eye left for small slashpiles and a firepit. This is the Rim. Branch off the road and follow the rim to the right where it gradually steepens. Good views along the way! Near the top a section of rock has split away from the main wall. A conveniently placed 2X10 completes the "Elko skinny". Follow the rim a little further to the final lookout. Take in the view then rip the trail the way you came back to the firepit. Head down the road (or beside)then turn left at the rockbluff. Follow cairns and flagging and watch for rock airs! The road is to the right but the trail swings hard left towards a treed dip. Pedal across a bouldery ridge along a big fallen tree then straight over open rolls. Then the trail swings right into trees and becomes more obvious. Join the swichbacking uproad and haul! From here the bottom section isn't done but tree biking's more fun anyway!
Hope you find it, Enjoy!
