I'd just recommend not riding up Bear Creek, which on the map is traveling from the south to north direction. This map has you riding up Bear Creek and then back down Bear Creek later. People come down this trail fast and you could put yourself in position for an accident. Not saying it would be your fault, but accidents deep in the woods are not fun regardless of fault. My first time out there several years ago, I made this mistake and won't do that ever again. Best plan is to take the gravel roads up and Bear Creek downhill (north to south), then P1 and P2 back to the parking spot indicated on this map. That is normally where I park and it is a great ride.
