Not recommended for driving, this road is steep, wet and privately maintained by the landowners. Links RT 17 with the top of the Revolution trail and Howe Block of Camel's Hump State Forest trail network. The road is often wet and slick, quite steep for the first mile, with lots of rocks, ruts and deep waterbars. Primarily used between the top of Evolution and the top of Clinic/Cyclone and to get between Busternut, GS, Enchanted Forest and Cyclone Connector. Before any of the climbing trails were built, the road was the way.
