Don't recommend this section for MTB. It's best suited for hiking and horses.

Not a good trail. I'd recommend riding the good trials in the area 100 times before coming here.

this trail has been changed due to private property. It switches back up the hill and crosses the river down from the private land. Go straight at the South Dry Fork trail sign. The new trail has no sign yet.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
