Tonto is the old way to get from the Adams Lot area over to the southern part of Vietnam, as well as the NEMBA land. It is an old school double track with many baby head rocks and calls for good line choice. There is one steep river crossing on the trail

Access Info

Tonto joins Town Forest Trail in the North to The Main Trail in the South and is an alternative to Middle Sister. To get to Tonto, follow the Adams Lot Trail onto Town Forest Trail, down the hill, swoop to the right and up the short climb. At the top of the climb, the first bigger trail to the South is Tonto. (If you get to the Log Ride you have gone about 20 feet too far)
