Description

The Highbanks Trail is situated along the towering bluffs above the Au Sable River. This trail is open year-round and is located in the Huron National Forest. It provides stunning views of the Au Sable River and the Cooke Dam Pond. This FKT route is a 6.3 mile point-to-point between Iargo Springs and Sawmill Point Parking, following the main trail and excluding any alternate routes. The trail itself is a well marked singletrack. This route is considered easy as it's mostly flat and not very technical. This FKT can be completed as a one-way (either direction) or as an out-and-back.

Black Bear Mountain (NY)

Incredibly fun trail in between Inlet and Old Forge. The Black Bear Mountain has two trails to form a loop- the longer, but much easier yellow marker trail, and the more technical blue marker trail. As of now we have two variations: up and down the short blue trail or round trip on the full BB Mountain trail. The shorter blue trail has a fixed rope for everyone to use and requires some scrambling/climbing but nothing too difficult.

Description

The Battle-Grove Creek Canyons Loop is local gem that is run by someone just about every day. The route passes across improbable cliffside ledges, through aspen groves, across alpine meadows, past waterfalls, by Indian Spring, and over year-round streams.
