Cadillac Trail
West and East Cadillac, aka Upper and Lower Cadillac Trail as of 11 November 2008, in numerical order. In other words, following the trail markers from #1C - 79C. Total distance of 6.51Km/4.04M includes 280m multiuse connector between Upper and Lower Cadillac. I took no more than about 15 steps between photos. I've added distances for all trail markers. Metric, with the addition of some mile splits. One mile = 1609 meters, or 1.61Km = 1M, ok? If you'd prefer all Imperial distances, go here.
Nearly all photos "on trail" were taken at a 35mm equivalent of a ~27mm lens. That's a wider field of view than normal. That, and my angling the camera down a bit helps show the terrain you're running/riding over.
I began on the Tom Brown Park side of Conner Creek and finished in Lafayette Heritage Park.
GPS track here.
GPS track for the marker measurement trip a couple days later is here. In that case, I started in Tom Brown Park up at the Magnolia Trail parking area. I rode Magnolia TH to #79 to #68, exit across Goose Pond (paved) Trail past the new H2O and bike wash, then down to the Cadillac entrance.
West or Upper Cadillac Trail is a point-to-point section from trail markers #1C - 35C.
The Lafayette Heritage Park playground, parking lot, restrooms, picnic area divides the two Cadillac sections.
East or Lower Cadillac Trail is a newer loop trail from TM 36C - 79C. I refer to 36C - 56C as East Cadillac highside, and 56C - 79C as East Cadillac lowside. Those "sides" are just short of 2Km/1.25M each.
I have separate galleries for the Loblolly trail (#1L - 12L) and the Lafayette Heritage multiuse trail. You may also peruse Cadillac's Tub section and Hill of Death options H1, H2, H3. I also have a gallery of shots while working on the Hill of Death drop (H2) here.

Now I need to shoot Cadillac Trail in REVERSE order, non? Here it is.
Cadillac Trail "backwards," start by #79C, 500+ photos to #1C and Conner Creek.
Yes, I know a video tour might be useful - probably better. I plan to do that as well, once I get the helmetcam back in the mix. Meanwhile, galleries like this one call for changing gallery "Style" to "slideshow" - top right this page.
With a gallery full of shots, you may find it easier to navigate if you change the gallery "style" (top right) from "smugmug" to "all thumbs." Or "slideshow" or "filmstrip" or . . . you get the idea, it's configurable by you. I usually like "journal." Slideshow isn't a bad choice for this gallery.
