An out and back run on Highway 12, the scenic Highway of Legends, designated a National Scenic Byway in February 2021! This course includes a gradual outbound ascent totaling 756 feet of elevation gain and a smooth, even downhill cruise when the first half’s work is done. The turning point is arguably at one of the most scenic areas of the Highway of Legends with the stone dike formations looming to the east.
