Memorial Overland Emigrant Trail

The climbing is front-loaded — most of the 196 ft of gain lands in the first half of the 2.7 miles. The main climb starts right off the line and runs 0.65 miles, gaining 112 ft at an average 3.3%. The steepest sustained pitch averages 9.9% and begins just past mile 0.87. You finish 279 ft below the start, so an out-and-back saves the climbing for the return.

At 2.7 miles it is longer than 91% of the 162 trails mapped in Placer County.
