This graded FS road gradually ascends from the Bradley Creek Trail (#351) on its way to Yellow Gap Road. Enjoy the surrounding hardwood forest as you climb - the road itself is not too exciting to ride. Courtesy of mtbproject.com
This is a gated forest service road that mostly descends for 4 miles from FS 1206 to a junction with several singletrack trails. Fairly smooth, but lots of climbing from the other direction. Courtesy of singletracks.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
