High Point
This route is an easy way to park low and avoid the rough sections of FR79 and access the new (2022) trails, HBD, Clyde, and 21st Amendment. There are a few steep bits to climb but in general it is moderate. The downhill of Clyde is not technical, however, one must be comfortable on narrow trails on a steep sidehill.
