Horses, private property and locals who prefer their solitude.
Unfortunately dirt bikers have taken over much of the area and former "multi-use" recreation trails built by mountain bikers!!
The majority of this area is local knowledge and seasonal. The Black Cat Ranch / Mount Solomon and Ogre Canyon areas are the best places for hiking and the MS Bike Tour hosts an annual Mountain Bike tour once a year. Outside of these zones is mostly private property, horse leases and even trapper leases.
