Did I mention how much I love bugs??
Also on this hike
This trail is what it claims to be, a truck trail. Â I drove my SUV the six miles from the Maple Springs sign to the start of the “trail”. Â There was only one runner I came across and one cyclist otherwise it was all trucks and dirt bikes. Â Everyone was nice and slowed down (except two young guys in vehicles who thought it would be funny to speed up and throw dirt on me). Â I’d like to say the road was clean, but beer bottles, cans and just general trash were everywhere. Â The views are pretty, but this is a one and done for me. Â The bugs you ask? Â Well, I will add a photo to give you an idea of what you are in for if you don’t bring a head net. Â I did wear mine most of the time, but took it off for a nanosecond at the peak to get a couple photos and the bugs were relentless. Â I can’t even imagine hiking it without a net this time of year. Â I enjoyed the drive up to the start of the trail. Â I wouldn’t try it after rains though as the ruts are big.
