Tunnel rd is washed out, so take 112 and then go left onto 116. In a couple miles, turn left onto Tunnel Stream rd. Same rd, just from the other side. Goes right to the logging rd. Logging rd starts where tunnel stream turns almost 180 degrees right where the guard rail starts |

Great winter trail! Done it twice recently and it's lovely. Bare booted all the way to summit though we were VERY careful. Spikes once back to trees for the first mile then back to boots. Only ran into one crazy trail runner heading down Beaver Brook. He looked to be having a great day though! Great day, but everyone be careful out there! |
