Mountain Highway is the main access to almost all the trails on Mount Fromme. It is a gravel road past the yellow gate. The steepness is a nice grade and even heavy downhill bikes can ride up with a bit of work.
There are 6 switchbacks, most the trailheads are after the 5th switchback with 4 upper trails after the 6th.
Access Info
The gravel road starts at the end of the paved city street. There is a large parking lot between the first and second gates, a few hundred metres from where the paved road ends. There is a three hour parking limit and hours vary seasonally, so be sure to check the sign at the first gate when you arrive for current closure times.

Nice steady climb that’s good for beginners (or out of shape guys like me) to get their climbing legs conditioned without having to get off and push. No big loose rocks, one of the easier climbs.

Very steady climb. No large loose rocks.

A black bear was on the road just above the 5th last night.
