Thoroughfare Trail is an old overgrown road where you are sometimes riding down a tunnel of trees. Passage is tight in some places but it is a fun trail. It makes a great loop with the Porcupine Spring Trail 059. There are no signs so you will have to watch for the junctions on this non-motorized trail. It is best ridden from north to south, by doing your climbing on the Porcupine Springs 059 Trail, then descending on the Thoroughfare. Go right and descend from from Porcupine Springs 059 at the old 014D sign.
