Maybe a blue because it's pretty loose with flat corners?
Mellow climb, mellow descent, cool geology up top with the natural tunnel and some decent views. Currently an out-and-back, more trail opening in 2026 to make a lollipop.
Worth a ride if you're staying in Portola. If you prefer spicier trails, Lakes Basin, Downieville, et al are in the neighborhood.

Edit: looks like Portola City Park, headed for Beckwourth peak. I didnt read the description at first haha. Def will hit it in the next Downieville trip.
