About this trail

USFS records list its surface as asphalt. USFS slope data puts it in the Easy band (grade band +0-5%), meaning a gentle climb — keep in mind this measures steepness, not trail technicality. Bike use is designated as allowed year-round. The agency lists no Class 1, 2 or 3 e-bike designation here; absent a local order to the contrary, that means e-bikes are not an allowed use on this trail. The route is mapped as USFS Trail Class 5 on the agency's 1-to-5 development scale, where 1 is the most primitive, minimally maintained tread and 5 is the most developed, and the record carries an accessibility designation for this trail.
