Mt. Shasta Mine Loop (extended)

This route has some of just about every type of terrain and is short enough for weekday evening rides.  Start and finish at the famous "horse poop parking lot" on Paige Bar Rd.  Follow the Mt. Shasta Mine Loop Trail until it forks, at which point go left across the creek and intersect Mule Town Rd.  Turn Left.  Turn right onto the Buck Hollow Trail.  When it intersects the Salt Creek Trail in the middle of Salt Creek go right and intersect Mule Town Rd. again.  Turn right.  Turn left onto Paige Bar Rd.  Turn right onto the Clear Creek Water Ditch Trail.  Turn left at the intersection with the Mt. Shasta Mine Loop Trail.  Stay on the dirt, to the right of the cemetery.  Keep going straight through the intersection with a dirt road (the same one you climbed at the start), and watch for fresh steamers in the parking lot.
