RRB to carryville flatts

[BeerMonkey]

Has anyone been on this red trail? thinking of going dragons back>widow maker> red trail> to carryville flatts. Red trail is most direct but i cant remember if i have been on it or not. i remember a long narrow uphill trail with nothing on the drop offside except old mining cart cable. and a hole about half way up.

@joeymt33 @Hondasxs is this the cut thru we were on?

The Lighting bolt trail?

It is simi steep, but not bad if you can come down dragons back.

okie doke still havent gotten a feel for these maps and the ratings. you look at some trails and they will could be double black diamonds going up if its wet and be as easy as a paved road going down. guess we will give it a shot.

I would not go that far.. was I teetering on tipping over, yes, were that guy who came back to help and felt the need to lean on the door and gently rock my Honda - Yes. To Quote @Kilo427 "Why are your headlights shining at the moon?"

Super fun trail, good climb in some loose material and a there were a couple places where we had to traverse some trees that had fallen - one place a winch helped out a little. look forward to go on it again

maybe it was a tree that made to veer toward the drop off and not a hole. or maybe this isnt the trail ive been thinking of this whole time.

I originally questioned it.
How can it be so straight then cut back and straight again?
Found out its an old cable pull path up the hill to the road.
Its on my list next time I am in that area again.

probably one of the benefits of going up it at night - you don't see the drops to the side. it was a fun trail however!

Yeah.. I prolly wouldn’t have been hanging off the down hill side of @Ragnar406 cage if I could have seen what was below me.
