Itinerary description

Was going to list this as a Offroad trail but after hitting a very narrow overgrown section coming back from hwy 3a, I changed it to an ATV trail.

Lots of great views and fun tight sections.

Missed a really fun switchback hill climb due to some fallen trees that we didn't have time to clear.
