Description

Use this trail mostly as a descent from the upper traverse of Larkspur Mt. Rd. down to the lowest main switchback on the road. Some might climb the trail, but most will find themselves pushing their bike too much of the time. Consider this as part of a loop ride with Larkspur Mt. Rd., Kobey Park Rd. and FS Rd. 526 (Yeckel Rd.) or as part of an adventure that involves staying at the nearby Margy's Hut.
