Conditions

Minor Issues 21 days ago
Mostly Dry - Tillman Road Closed to vehicles but you can still ride bikes to Dog Graveyard. One tree down on last descent of Festival. Drops off at the end of Tillman West at the creek due to the erosion from the heavy rains 2 weeks ago. Had a great ride yesterday. History

Description

Narrowback Trail will take you to the main spine of the mountain. From the east, it starts on Narrowback Road (FSR #432B), and on Tillman Road to the west at Tillman Road at pull-off near an old house foundation.

Both ends of this trail have some steep rocky sections, but well worth the work to get to the Festival Trail and Tower Trail.
