Trail Overview

North Bypass Route is a tight, single-lane sandy trail that winds through the pines, offering a ride reminiscent of a classic West Coast logging road. The route is mostly smooth but can get sloppy in spots, especially after rain. A beautiful creek crossing adds to the scenic charm, while large mud sections bring some challenge for those seeking a bit of adventure. Along the way, you'll find several camp spots, making it a great trail for an overnight stay or a quick getaway into the forest.

I don’t know why this was rated 4 difficulty by someone. This was the only few trail wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass side by side. Mostly just smooth dirt path where you can actually speed up.
