The Cement Mountain Trail starts from the summit of 12,201′ Cement Mountain. While the trail is difficult to follow at first, once it’s found the trail is quite distinct- almost a doubletrack by the bottom, in fact. I rode this trail for the first time a few years ago and thought it was OK- but for whatever reason I really liked this trail a lot this time around. If nothing else, how many rides start at the summit of a 12,000′ peak? I’ve hike-a-biked to the summit from the highpoint of the Julie Andrews trail as well as the top of the Roaring Judy trail- either way it’s a long hike. This summer may be the last to legally ride this trail, as the new Forest Service Management Plan will “decommission” this trail soon. So if you’re looking for something new, check it out soon!

nice work. went up there last week in the evening. Tried to find that trail as the sun was setting. Your video justifies that it was as primitive as I though it would be. I ended up backtracking which was a pretty swift descent. Nice work!
It’s a pretty sweet trail, chris- worth trying to find again.
