Tree down toward the end, don’t go too fast that you can’t stop for it.

      I rode from bottom of nutty buddy up. yes, seems like it was closed; I thought it was a hike only, but no signs anywhere, and confusing at bottom of nuttybudy where to go. Best is to find North Side Climb trail and take it, which dumps onto pavement then back to woods. This closed trail goes straight up, so unless you are doing a specific strength workout or just in a hurry then skip it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
