Trail Overview
Trail 517 peels off from Trail 518 and heads Northwest for 0.7 miles. The trail is generally flat until you reach a large hill climb to the top of a peak. Total elevation gain is ~400 ft. The hill is steep and covered in loose rocks. There really isn't dirt here, it's more pulverized gravel beneath the rocks. The view from the top is worth the fight up the hillside. From the top, you can either ride back down the hill climb or take a dirt road that turns off towards the East.
