Backcountry mountain bike adventure on the Mountaintown Creek trail in the Cohutta Wilderness outside of Ellijay, Ga. After a 14 mile gravel ride most of which is climbing you reach the top of the Mountaintown Creek trail and are treated to a very fast and fairly long opening decent followed by true backcountry riding that includes riding along and through beautiful mountain streams and a few moderately technical downhills. I highly recommend this trail just confirm trail conditions before riding as it does tend to accumulate falling trees. If you prefer to avoid the long gravel climb Mulberry Gap Adventure Base Camp offers shuttle service.
