Dollar Mountain Bike – B Street Entrance

This Dollar Mountain route is 5 miles and connects to 12 miles of mountain bike ‘mostly’ trails in Grants Pass Oregon. There are three uphill routes with a variety of downhill biking options. The B Street Trail Head is the “secret” neighborhood entrance.

Driving to the B Street Entrance
– From exit 58 off of interstate 5 you will be on Route 99 heading towards downtown Grants Pass. You will continue for about 1.5 miles and turn right on A street. On Dimmick Street turn left and then quickly right onto B Street. B Street curves right, then curves left, then makes a complete right turn and quickly ends in a cul-de-sac. Here you turn left on Crescent Drive. In about 200 yards there will be a significant parking lot to your left.

Parking For the B Street Entranc
– Turn left into the lot where there will be room for 10 cars or so. The second entrance will line you up for the proper slanted parking but it doesn’t matter. Now… run across the street to the Crescent Street trailhead. For the B Street trailhead, jump on your bike and ride back down Crescent Street to where you turned left from B Street. Turn left down that cul-de-sac and you will hit the yellow pipe gate across the gravel service road AKA your trailhead.

The Adventure

The B Street Trailhead
– This is a 5 mile mountain bike route with multiple options for more trails and routes. The uphill isn’t on any city maps because it enters up a city access road so I’m sure their super chicken-shit cry-baby attorneys are so afraid of some liability that they pretend it doesn’t exist. But… it’s the best uphill route for a mountain bike. From the Crescent street parking area you roll down to B Street, turn left, pass the pipe gate and now uphill on the gravel road. Within a few hundred yards the gravel heads up to the left while a dirt road continues forward. That dirt road quickly ends in a large Dirt Bike pit. Unless you are a complete psychopath with excellent health insurance don’t go here.

Ride up the gravel road and in more than 1/2 mile you will arrive at “the hub,” a 6 way intersection. For today’s route we will turn left up the gravel road towards the Skynet Antenna Tower of Space Rays however, within a couple hundred yards, turn left and head downhill on some money themed trail. In a quick 1/4 mile you will hit the gravel uphill road again. Head bak up to the hub.

At the hub take a soft right uphill on Non-Cents which parallels the gravel road atop the ridgeline. At the first opportunity take the trail to the right and reconnect with the gravel road. Continue uphill on that road for a hundred yards and on the right the “Loose Change” trail will head downhill. Take that for about 1 mile downhill with berms and drops and table tops… all the mountain bike goodness you could want. When that hits the uphill gravel road head back down to your car or… just go up and down and up and down forever. Boom. 5 miles. You’re welcome.
