There are fewer inclines to climb by going in this direction. The Indian Springs Trail No. 627 and the West Fork Trail No. 628 are intended for use by hikers and mountain bikes only. These trails are not signed for fast riding. Fast riders may prefer to use existing logging roads in the Big Lake Area to avoid collisions with other trail users. White Mountain Trail System Trails are marked with blue diamonds, often bearing directional arrows, trail numbers, or colored dots.
Yellow dots indicate a short route back to the trailhead.
Green dots indicate a connector trail. Red dots indicate a side trail to a point of interest or a particularly scenic vista. The trails frequently make use of and cross existing roads and travel ways. It's very easy to miss a trail marker and lose the trail. If you become confused, backtrack to the point where you lost the trail.
