This route is not a full destination ride as by itself it is less than 4 miles. You could hike it, but would probably just access the summit via the Appalachian Trail from 9d. This is an old carriage road, severely eroded, but a satisfying challenge on mtn bike. 

Directions only are given for one way, but as it is an out and back, you will have no problem reversing the route to the start.

Oh my, this is one of the toughest ascents in our region, and it is only an access road!

Note: subsequent to the posting of this ride, the trail in Ninham SP has been altered. A new foot trail begins off Gipsy Trail where the section described below begins as well. The new trail obscures the old route to Coles Mills Road. Should someone sort this out, please get back to me with details. In the meantime, should you become flustered, just ride up the access road to the parking lot on the road to the fire tower and continue the route. HS 4/27/2021
