Description

This trail is an old fire road that is now closed to motor vehicles. It can be found behind a gate (bikes can still pass easily) at the Glouchester Gap intersection of National Forest Road 475 and 471. The trail is rather steep and eroded in some places but is not overly technical. Expect gravel at the bottom and larger loose stone towards the top. Do note that this trail intersects the Art Loeb hiking trail so be respectful to hikers and backpackers.
