Blackwater Canyon

This map shows the section of our trip on the Blackwater Canyon Trail in the afternoon on day one. While by itself it is not much of a challenge, entering the canyon after having approx. 50 miles on your bike can be a bit extreme. The gradual uphill slows you pace considerable, from approx 11 or 12 miles an hour, to (depanding on your strength and stamina) 3-6 miles an hour.

The trail does offer some pretty views and allows the climb to davis to be a bit more tolerable then a typical road would offer.
