Slate Mountain Bypass

The Slate Mountain Bypass Trail consists of a smooth, wide gravel trail to the East that tapers down to a one-lane rocky trail as you travel Westward. There is a well-marked hiking trailhead along this trail, with a small parking area, so don't be surprised to see traffic, especially on the East side of this trail. There are no obstacles on this trail, but it is lined with downed trees as you progress West, and there is a short steep hill with some holes on the track, so 4lo might be needed. Cell phone reception is intermittent at best along the route so offline maps are recommended.
