G-19 is a short, steep out-and-back mountain biking climb in Idaho's Boise National Forest, within the Mountain Home Ranger District. The route is about 0.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 358 feet from a low point of 6,546 feet to a high of 6,727 feet. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.11 miles in, with a grade of 21 percent. The climb is rated hard, and the round trip is only about 0.3 miles, so it works well as a quick addition to a longer ride. Three other mountain biking routes sit within about 0.1 miles: Loam Star Runner, Rabid Badger and Berm Baby Berm. Bogus Boulders, a climbing area, is about 0.4 miles away.
