At some point that had to be a monumental task to clear all that deadfall from the 2nd & 3rd trails you rode. Lots of chainsaw action there. I'm guess from past forest fires. I assume these are all deadend out & back trails correct? What was the deal with the string across the trail?
Yeah that must've been quite the job to get all that cleared. I'm guessing all the downfall was either from forest fires or wood beetle kill. The first two trails (#025 & #059) are dead end trails because they run into the wilderness boundary. The third trail (#116) isn't a dead end as it connects to some other trails and forest roads on the other end. There is another couple short singletrack trails towards the end as well. So you can do a bit of a lollipop loop if you want to. Honestly not sure what the string was there for. We rode that trail the day before and it wasn't there so I was surprised to see it. Didn't seem like a booby trap or anything though.
I’m really enjoying your videos. So much that I want to plan a trip this coming summer. I will need to purchase the maps for the area. Can you send me the area numbers , from the National Geographic maps?
What you are looking for is the MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Map). Here is the link for the Big Horn National Forest MVUM - www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5279103.pdf I would suggest using some sort of mobile map app like Avenza or ONX Offroad. That way you can use your phone as a GPS and link it to the map. Also, carry a paper copy as a backup. Reach out to me if you're interested in a guide
