      This road is steep for climbing on a bike. Some sections are beaten up by dirt bikes or wash outs. About half way up the road, where it makes the sharp turn, there was a big dug out. Purposely excavated to discourage riders. You will have to carry you bike, but it is passable. I would not recommend this road for a leisure ride.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
