Main Line Valley


There is a main line (electrical) that runs North and South just outside of town. If you turn off on it you can follow it about 5 or so miles on 2.5 ORTB difficulty trails. Once the road clears up you will find a valley about 1/4 mile long and 300 feet up on either side. There are trails up both sides of the valley with difficulty ranging from 3 to 5; something for everyone.









My tires being shot, I could only make it up some of the easier hills. Id say 3 to 3.5. No pictures of anything on the more difficult hills because I was alone on this trip. Though it is hard to portray through a picture how steep this was.

It's short lived. Definitely a day trip sort of trail. I know there are campfire rings there from past campers/partiers. But I've never stayed there myself. Im fairly certain its state land but I'm not sure of the logistics of staying there "legally"

But once you get past the power lines it is great scenery
