I only rode the section that’s East of the Frank Young Trail and South of the main road. Fun fact, the trail disappears and you get to hike through deadfall and wilderness with your bike on your back until you can find the trail again, which is barely an overgrown hiking trail. Views are 10/10 though 🫡 Good luck out there 😂
