Trail Overview
BM 48 is a 1.6-mile narrow OHV route in the Buffalo Mountain Trail System, beginning on the east end with a rocky, shelfy ascent along the mountainside. The climb includes loose rock, ruts, and embedded rock layers forming small shelves--manageable when dry but more challenging in wet conditions. After topping out, the trail follows a gradual path along the ridgeline before descending smoothly down the hillside. The west end finishes with a steeper descent. Although steep on both ends, the majority of the trail is relatively easy.
Difficulty
While the majority of this trail is easy, the initial climb on the north end is pretty steep, rocky, and rutted with some small shelves, making this an intermediate trail.
