      The access information is incorrect as of 7/29/2020. There is a well marked official parking lot at the end of Johnnie Brook Road like it shows on the map.

      Pretty nice climber, easy to hold a good cadence and feel like you're crushing some uphill.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
