I parked off Rt 7 (here) and crossed busy Rt 7 when the traffic light gave me a moment.
(updated/corrected after my 2-5 hike) |
Coming in from Rt 7 |

Climbing the Fire Road
Start of the Climb |
More climbing, but the sun was nice! |
Picking a Single Track
Veering to the Right, I Took the Green Trail |
It wasn't very well-defined, but I discovered it eventually headed down this valley |
Instead of continuing, I came back to the fork and veered left on the White |
Joining the Ives
It got me to the Ives...
A rocky ascent thru a valley in the Ives |
Panorama at the 4-way |
Climbing the North Hill
I first climbed the hill on the left (north) |
At the top - nice slick rock |
I choose to veer to the right here and loop back |
View From Ives looking back up the optional tech way down (drops and rollers!) |
The awesome Orange trail
I then made my way south on the Orange trail |
An obviously great trail for mountain bikers |
It was amazing how high up I was still -- the trail seemed to take forever to descend and none of the maps really do justice to how many switchbacks occur on the descent - especially the closer you get to the bottom.
The Orange/Green Trail is trully an awesome trail...
