This is a very challenging loop that starts at Hitt Creek off of Forest Road 009. The ride has a strenuous singletrack climb that leads through canyons and creeks to the high ridge-tops of Sturgill Mountain. Outrageous views of the surrounding Payette National Forest are offered from the trail. There are a lot of camping areas along the Mann Creek, and it's definitely a good idea to plan ahead to find a good spot. Be well equipped with water, food, and supplies. A wilderness permit can be obtained from a Forest Service facility or a registration box.
