Driving Directions
For a weekend section hike, you may want to bring two vehicles to the trail so that you can shuttle
yourselves from one end of your chosen section to the other. First, you will need to park your
“finish hike vehicle” at your section’s northern terminus and then drive your “start hike vehicle” down
to your section’s southern terminus.

    back down Flagg Mountain Road the same way you drove up. As of March, 2010 the road walk is
    marked with yellow blazes that you'll usually find on power poles along the way. Once you reach
    mile 18.6 ~ CR 511, in Section 2, the blazes stop. The old road walk turned right on CR 511. Now
