For beginner and intermediate bikers, forest roads are easier to ride than trails. Road or trail surfaces can change instantly from rocks to sand, rutted to smooth, wet spots to dust. Drought or rain can turn a beginner trail into an expert trail. Some trails receive considerable horseback and foot travel. Please be considerate when overtaking these visitors Trail Grades.
Trails are generally for more advanced mountain cyclists.
Trails are indicated by the single dashed line on the map. A route noted as intermediate may appear expert to a beginning cyclist or easy to an expert cyclist. In addition , the route may contain variable surface conditions. During drought, the road can be quite dusty and traction difficult. Freshly graded forest roads have many small rocks on the surfaces of steep slopes - even expert cyclists may have to walk on these stretches.
