Heading there later this summer for a family vacation for a few days. I was planning on bringing a bike and getting a ride or two in. I could bring either a road, gravel (40mm tires), or mountain bike with me. Preferably just one to keep things simple. Has anyone on here spent time riding in the area and have recommendations of what bike to bring and where to ride? Nature of the trip is to spend time as a family, so I’ll probably only do 2-3 rides and ideally keep them around an hour though I could maybe fit in a ~2-3 hour ride on just one of the days.
I was looking around at heat maps and segments in strava, but it’s hard to say what/where would be best to ride. I thought this climb looked interesting (and isn’t too far from where we are staying), but wasn’t sure how miserable a descent it would be on a gravel bike:
