This is a historic track which linked the Settlements of Burnetts Face and Denniston. The track is named after the hotel at Burnetts Face. This is used primarily to bypass the road ride to get back to the quarry and car park. There is no riding at the beginnng of this track due to it being historical and fragile. Instead there is a steep bike carry until the first major power pole and then a rough 4wd track which leads the rest of the way uphill.

Tried to find the entry at the bottom - without success. Pedaled up the road (it may have been a blessing in disguise)
