Trail Notes:
All gravel road riding. There are many scenic overlooks to enjoy. Some hills are pretty long, but there should be no downfall or creeks to negotiate, however there is traffic once in a while, including ATV’s and motorcycles. It is a hot ride in the summer because so much of it is open and sunny. Lack of water sources would make it hard on the horses during the heat of the summer. There are road runners here that you might get to see if you are lucky.

Mountain Bike Riders, ATV riders, motorcycle riders, and drivers.
