We picked up this trail about 3/4 of a mile further up Kebler Pass road. At this point, it looked like the trail crossed the road. We headed right on it back towards lake Irwin in an attempt to work it into our loop with the Dyke Trail. We rode it for about a mile before it dumped out on a gravel road up there. The trail did continue to the left of Kebler Pass road, and I am unsure of how long it runs in that direction. This trail wasn't on any of our maps or in our guidebook, yet it was signed as being bike legal.
As for the trail itself, it definitely did not feel like it got ridden much at all. The singletrack was very narrow, although it was easy to follow at all times. The tread itself was very rough and bumpy but not actually technical, just making it tough to find a good flow. On the upper section in the woods, there were a couple of logs down along the way.
Nice break for the grind back up from the bottom of the Dyke trail "horse thief range" I think. Just remember to turn left at the gravel road to get back up to Lake Irwin.
Thank |This trail could use some work, but it has real potential! I imagine it doesn't get ridden much because it's not on any of the maps. I'm not sure if it's brand new or what the case is. I think this may be a snowmobile trail in the wintertime.
