Mary Jane & Willow Creek Guided Ride – Expert

Our Goat Mountain & 007 Advanced Guided Ride is the ultimate family or beginner experience in Bass Lake near Yosemite National Park, CA. The 007 trail network is a hidden gem and the most popular in Bass Lake, California. Your guide will lead you on a ride that will take you up Central Camp Road (dirt road) to the top of the 007 3rd single-track trail. We will connect with the Octopussy trail, an alternative to riding the entire 3rd section of 007. Octopussy is rated a black diamond trail that begins with a wide-open, fast descent. The trail will then become more challenging, with tight turns leading to a rock garden filled with large boulders and rock ledges. There are multiple lines to choose from, with some being more challenging than others. Your guide will help you navigate the best rout for you. After this section, the trail becomes fast and flowy with some high-speed sections and jumps, natural berms, and rocky sections that quickly sneak up on you as you descend to Central Camp Road and 007 2nd entrance.007 From there, we will head to the Gold Finger trail, which is not on any maps. Gold Finger is a flowy trail that connects to 007 2nd. 007 2nd is a chunky rocky trail that is not too steep. The trail will challenge intermediate riders, and our guide will lead you through the best line choices.  Once we exit 007 2nd, we’ll take a break and check out the views of Bass Lake. We will then continue to 007 1st, the most popular trail in Bass Lake, California. 007 1st has a fast and exhilarating descent. It is very flowy except for a large erosion rut called The Canyon, where the turns are very tight, and you must avoid pedal strikes. Overall, 007 1st offers many different line choices, providing options to bypass jumps and drops. These drops can be surprising when riding fast, so your guide will warn you about what is approaching.

Along the way, we will ride on Crane Valley Dam, with beautiful lake views. Once we arrive at Central Camp Road, we will begin the relatively mellow 5-mile climb to the 007 trail.007 1st is the most popular trail in the Bass Lake area!
