I live there but currently in Wyoming, best bet is to stop by the Pilot Truck stop at exit 141 off I-75 they have free paper maps of the trails. You can go back under the interstate and park for free at the El Ray's Mexican restaurant by the Shell station. Park south of restaurant. Jihad Joe at the Shell Station wants to charge $10 to park. You can get on trails from there going up hill by Shell station it is Trail 12 on the map.

Between the Y of trails 8 & 14 is a very cool waterfall. , must walk to it a bit.

Trails 2 and 37 also have waterfalls.

Elk viewing Tower at end of Trail 25.

Top of the world overlook on Trail 31

I would avoid going up Trail 9, very rocky with ledges.

I would avoid going up Trail 26 at end of Trail 2, just keep going until y get in Church dri then go left on gravel road, comes out at top of 26, continues to the right at top.

We have our permits but I think we still need to sign a release form? where can we do this.

You only need to sign a release form if you are staying at or parking at RRB campgrounds. If you are, park there and disregard parking off exit 141 go to RRB at exit 144. They have release form and maps in the store/ check in bldg of RRB.
