      Rode FSR 79 all the to Hickory Nut into the park on 5/25/22. Great ride even in wet, foggy conditions.
      This entire trail needs TLC in the form of pruning, some grading and clearing of down trees.

      FS79 from Tray Mtn Road down to start of Hickory Nut drops 300ft/mile for 2.65 miles. Super rocky technical fun.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
