Fences are pretty jumpable, views are phenomenal, but I agree mostly just fire road. Some cow paved single track and some cow land mines. The land is probably private property
Srileo
Don't bother. Locked gates and while the views are good, not worth jumping around cows. NOT an MTB trail by any stretch of imagination. Just a fire road.
marlinmajnoon
Ditto. No access from the North. Posted no trespassing and a large fence.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
