- Description
Lots of twisting and turning and scenic views along this route. You will find occasional diggings of old mines in this area.
It can be fun by itself or use it to extend your ride around Jacobs chair. The eastern exit of Jacobs chair is only a few hundred yards West on the Highway so combining the two trails is easy.
This trails ends back at the Western Parking lot for the Jacobs chair loop.
