Where is tail 3 located. I have never come across that trail. sounds rough.
11 is the only trail I've stopped attempting, it's short but insanely washed out.
i have always wondered about the 11, i have heard crazy stories about it, but never could find the trail head at the cherry campground and never cared enough to ride it from kirkham hollow as i always want to head over to sawmill and do the 009.
the 003 is up the road about 2 miles on the left from the kirkham hollow trailhead (12 i believe it is) good luck finding it on a map... its a shame because its the only trail that connects the right fork road to the left fork road, but its not even walkable let alone ride able. I might hike the damn thing with a GPS and a chainsaw next spring. It would be the perfect loop if that trail opened back up. wadsworth creek 010 connects the two but i believe its closed to motor vehicles.
I also wish they would put in a single track trail from the 132 up to the strawberry ridge 135. Would open up tons more terrain from hobble creek. I tried taking a cow path off the 009 up to the ridge, but i ran into a waterfall about halfway, with some work i probably could have kept going but, gas was already tight and we still had 25-30 miles to get back to the truck. gotta get myself a GPS with topo so i know how close I really was.
800RMK,
Pole canyon is where i really learned how to ride... i can remember the first time i went to palisades peak, and they showed me the chute in lorain... i remember thinking, what the hell am i doing here i want to go back home and sip my hot chocolate? haha! hands down the most technical best riding area I have ever been too...
