Very little gravel on the west half - it's mostly packed dirt and some loose sand. Middle section has a few single track stretches, and also some deep ruts from dirt bikes and a few muddy spots. East half is mostly gravel.

Not the best jsdf has to offer, but it’s something. Very much a dead end where it looks like a dead end. Tried to see where it went but it was massively grown over
frgibson
Lots of dirt bike tracks. No single track at all as this trail descriprion states. All fire roads, except for a few very brief slide workarounds. A real yawner.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
