Loose and rocky, ATV Bypass is a short trail that connects from Powerline/Chami to FR 462. While it may be relatively short, the final climb to 462 is very steep, loose and rocky. Keep your wits (and your cardio) about you.

      Steep and crappy. Ride it if you have to avoid weekend traffic on the adjacent gravel road. Otherwise, gain altitude fast by riding the gravel.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
