Trail Overview
This old man forestry road is in amazing condition. It is smooth and solid as it runs along a shelf to the top of the ridge. The end has been filled in to allow for regrowth, but there is a great camping spot with a stunning view. Strange that there is no Verizon LTE here, so you're going to have to plan ahead and download those maps beforehand. A few deer were spotted running about, and osprey flying high on the thermals. The spring flowers are popping if you catch the right time of year. Be aware there is no winter maintenance, and it appears the gates may lock in the winter months. The trail is well worth the trip, even if you're not camping. It's hard to beat amazing views like these.
