Trail Overview

Lots of scenic wooded gravel roads. Quite a bit of up and down on the side loops as you come in and out of the valley. We were rewarded at the end of this trip with an amazing road and a beautiful cow farm. Recommend running this backward in the winter as the first western Hillclimb is very steep.

Just a pleasant drive. One section was posted a closed for the winter, but it didn't appear to be closed to me. Mostly gravel road with some paved thrown in. Say "Hi" to the cows for me.

Extremely easy trail. No 4wd required. There is maybe one or 2 steep gravel roads that MIGHT need 4wd if it just rained a lot. Otherwise this is a mix of paved and gravel roads.
