Sand and gravel single-track on old road. Nice views.

Rode evening of 4/20/19, counterclockwise. Lots of downed trees across trail on north and northwest sides. Most were easy to climb over, but just before intersection w/Mallory's trail, ran into a pile I had to hike around. In the process, I lost the trail temporarily. While dragging my bike back uphill to the trail, I heard a very large animal (bear?) snorting, waaaay too close for comfort. I took off and picked up the trail further down. Nice views.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
