Land Owner
The Chat.... because, thats all people do after that awesome stage they just ride to the road to get shuttled back up and the whole way back is just good for a nice chat about how the awesome run was and to drain off all the extra stoakage. Just a old forest service road that crosses a creek twice. feet may or may not be wet depending on the season.
Access Info
From Holson Valley road or the end of Switch Rocky Bars.
Disclaimer
Be super careful out here. Always have a friend never ride alone and always have a map and plenty of water and cell battery because this is the worlds loneliest national forest. YOU ARE OUT THERE.
