This
is a wonderful road to nowhere. There are no cross roads,
no drive ways, if you want to get out of civilization fast,
this is your road. Breath taking views of snow capped
Sierra Mountains will be in the background as you dive into
this canyon. Winding your way right and left for mile after
mile you get your fill of turns and scenery.

Road Quality: 
|
|
This
road is in fairly good shape with a few exceptions. As this
is a canyon road, you ride along cliffs in a few short sections.
Rocks fall off and leave some loose debris and a few small
holes in the road. Other then that it is smooth riding.
Note: This is
a very tight and twisty road. It has few shoulders and you
will think the turns will never end. Fill up on gas before
you leave Foresthill or in Auburn. Once you hit Foresthill
road there is nothing out there but canyon and road. This
is a somewhat dead end road. Once you hit the lake at the
end it is best to turn around and head back. There are other
outlets but the roads go from good to bad or dirt. Unless
you have something that can handle the bumps you won't want
to ride these.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
|
There
are no shops, restaurants, gas stations, or hotels along
this road. Close to the end of the road you come to a lake
which has some camping, but don't expect to find lunch or
gas once you head down the canyon.

Written directions:
From
Sacramento take I-80 East to Auburn. Get off at
the Forsthill exit and make a right turn on to Foresthill
Road which will take you to the town of Foresthill.
Don't speed along Foresthill Road, the CHP loves
to write tickets to bikes up here. About 20 miles
out of Auburn you will hit the town of Foresthill.
You will see on your Right hand side an old 2 pump
gas station followed by a fancy restaurant (Robbers
Roost). Make a right turn on Mosquito Ridge Road
(also known as FR-96) directly after the restaurant.
Now you're on Mosquito Ridge Road … enjoy the next
30 miles!!!
