Trail Overview

This is an easy trail with a couple moderate sections. Not recommended when conditions are wet, as it can become very slick and rutted. The trail has lots of character with wild roses and plenty of trees. High clearance and recovery gear are necessary for the more difficult sections. Other trails in the area are near by if you choose to continue exploring.

Came in from the South, and trail was overgrown-Expect pin stripes. Very tame at first. Got to an uphill section v-notch with large rock at the top. Was too rutted and muddy to try. May be fine from the north to go down.

In the very beginning we cut through some peoples driveway, the wife came out and said we were more than welcome to in order to avoid some giant rocks on the first hill…be aware of Bigfoot!
