Trail Overview

As of the end of June 2023, this trail was uncut about 2.3 miles in from the east trailhead, with several downed logs. This is an advanced single track in the St. Joe National Forest that starts off Rye Creek Road with a very technical series of switchbacks that are very tight with rocks, boulders, and big roots. You gain a bunch of elevation in the beginning through 20 or so steep switchbacks before getting to the top of a ridge line on the mountain. There are side-hill sections with exposure in between each switchback. It has more steep rooted climbs before mellowing out on top of the mountain. There are several pretty big downed logs about 2.3 miles in that need to be cut. There are also lots of overgrown bushes and branches extending over this narrow trail that make visibility hard in spots. The west end of the trail connects with Cedar Mountain.
