BM 26

BM 26, when approached from the north, begins as a narrow, shelf-like descent down the mountain with a mostly smooth surface and occasional rocky patches. It drops to the forest floor beside Lick Creek, where lush, jungle-like surroundings and intermittent water on the trail are the norm. The trail gradually climbs again, introducing deeper, rock-filled ruts and slightly off-camber sections, but remains generally easy with navigable hairpin turns. After intersecting with trails 27 and 29, the southern half continues along a scenic, shelfy path beside towering mossy rock walls, widening along a pipeline, and is suitable for two-way travel. Riders should watch for rockfall and washouts from recent storms.
