Was there 2 weekends ago. Easy to hard trails. Steep. Stupid slick if wet. Email me at Info@SoutheastOverland.com and I'll send you an updated map.

Bmthinker. Any more info on conditions

General conditions are steep. Some trails are smooth, some have rocky loose cobble with low traction that can shred weak FJC diffs. There is some exposed rock in small sections. Some eroded banks with roots sticking out that can cause body damage. If it get a bit of water on the trails they become S-L-I-C-K and the USFS might close trails due to wet conditions. When Beasley is wet I don't touch the trails.

Yep, that's pretty much it. You're not going alone, right? I'm sure eventhough's maps are much better than the FS map (see below). He can probably indicate which ones have the most challenge, but as I recall it was 93C that was the most interesting. Steve, correct me if I've got that mixed up.

You'll also want to come in the north entrance, not the one in the lower left corner of the map. It's labeled Rosemary Drive on Google Maps and there is a propane seller adjacent to the street. The upper entrance is a lot flatter and typically not overgrown, like the lower entrance. Trails were not well marked last time I was there, so if you have a map and GPS, you'll get along much better. It's not a huge system, and you can probably knock out most of the trails in one day if you are not in a big group.
