This area is the result of strip mining and makes for a
unique landscape. The terrain is a seemingly endless line of small but steep
hills known as "mine tailings". Most of these hills are too steep to ride
(up) but the valleys between offer a fairly easy path to follow. The area
has few trees but high grass and bushes abound. There is no established
trail system so you will have to find your own way.
None.
The hills all look the same which makes it much simpler
to become lost. If you do get lost listen for the distant sound of highway
traffic which will take you east (towards Hwy. 83) or north (towards Hwy.
37).
