| The western section from Back Hollow Road to the top of the ridgeline is cleaned up as of 2015. The trail is faint especially the middle part of the climb but you should be able to follow it. If you lose the trail just bushwhack uphill and you will reconnect to it back at the top anyway. It's a short climb and not hard either way. Blazes are sporadic still so keep an eye on your path. Not great but better than what is used to be. | | The western section from Back Hollow Road to the top of the ridgeline is cleaned up as of 2015.

Mountain biking is not allowed in the eastern drop down to Back Hollow Road. The western slope is inaccessible.
Typical Conditions
Nice hard dirt path up on the ridge. Eastern section was redug after a major winter storm in the 90s.
The western section from Back Hollow Road to the top of the ridgeline is cleaned up as of 2015. The trail is faint especially the middle part of the climb but you should be able to follow it. If you lose the trail just bushwhack uphill and you will reconnect to it back at the top anyway. It's a short climb and not hard either way. Blazes are sporadic still so keep an eye on your path. Not great but better than what is used to be.
