Good scenery and many trails. All trails appeared to be open to 64" machines. Many water crossings. Trails were challenging, but quite rocky. We spent about 7 hours riding 95 miles and completed less than 20% of the trails/roads that were available. Maps are available on Avenza. It would be beneficial to have more information on the maps or along the trails such as waypoints and trail diffic... Good scenery and many trails. All trails appeared to be open to 64" machines.

Most trails were easy going, a couple I would definitely not bring inexperienced drivers.

Lots of ticks. Great hike down to a couple of gorgeous little waterfalls. I was there by myself and it was so peaceful.

Beautiful weather today. Only one bathroom at camp ground was pretty rank but it did have toilet paper. Trail E was closed so we went the long way around Trail D to see the'vista'. Couldn't see a thing. I was hoping for a pull over to take a picture. No such luck.
