The low end Start of this trail goes across a new slash and then joins a very old and overgrown service road. The old road has been cleared enough to be a single track. Trailforks is recommended. No cel service, so loading this area on Trailforks before hand would be a good idea. It does connect to 155-210 mosaic Rd. Existing and in service logging road that goes to Rowbotham lake Which is about 8.5 more kms. and about 400 meters more climbing from the high end of BrEthless. The road is in very rideable condition as of April 2024.

This trail is outside of the HammerFest Trail Network. Use at your own risk

This trail is unsanctioned.
