high mountain blues?

[liong71er]

quickly down and up!!

rode here right after i finished my work.trails mostly rideable and still have patch of snow at some section,wetland here. so prepared to get "wet feet"...,water running fast in middle of the trails (downhill) at white trails towards golf course.also flooding at the stream that intersect with the trails esp.on white trails.
then i gave my love back to this place, by clearing couples fallen (small)tree in middle of the trails.some are big tho ranging from 10-25cm diameter.but luckily it's a rooten tree so it's easy to remove them.

your training route

Good on ya to get dialed in to a "training route". I bike Rea ave, via goffle (taked you to Hi Mt).

I'm curious if I can bail this place at the west end on Indian Rd (at breakneck rd) en route to canonball (via Schuyler/Barbara Dr)

i think you can!you probably have to cross private property or swamp!

the last time i try (w/o gps) i ended up on valley rd.bypassing yellow trails.

and then i try another one on different day, after coming out from yellow trails i took indian trail dr (it's an estate housing area) then heading out to franklin lake rd then CR 502 towards oakland (terhune) then turn right on hamburgh tpk-into pomton lakes -colfax-schuyler-barbara dr-cannonball-then i go all the way up to ringwood then out on ringwood ave towards jungle habitat-then wawayanda then valley rd (west milford) to otter hole rd towards macopin rd then warwick tpk back to where i started(these back when i don't own a GPS 2 yrs ago).done these couples of time alone wit various route mostly on road and one time with a friend.

normally if i wanna go to cannonball.i just take hamburgh TPk into pomton lakes then schuyler-barbara dr-cannonball-ringwood and back via skyline drive going down again at schuyler-then go home.

i'm thinking going to ringwood on sunday with my usuall route but w/o make a stop at HM.hopefully the weather will cooporate.

This ride below I came down Skyline. I got lost on top of hill in f.l. trying to enter hi mtn.

Hi Mtn entrances I found in F.L.

1. Indian Trail
2. Dakot Trail
3. Sciotto

There must be a way out w/o crossing private property on Breakneck/Indian Rd

Freeride, have you checked out any of the "vacant" land that borders the HM side of Berdan ave just past the top of Breakneck? Opposite Indian Trail(Wayne) or the Toy's R' Us light?

Yes!!!!!! Thats exactly where I meant. Cross the Street and you can head Down Indian(Trail or Rd) to 202 .

Idian Rd is where you can exit Hi Mt in Wayne and it goes to 202. Indian Trail is in Franklin Lakes and it also connects to Hi Mt

After two months of going to Hi Mt at least once per week, I have a basic knowledgeof the Red, White, Yellow, and Blue. There's unmarked trails, and this orange trail there's two markers near F.L. then two in Wayne

I'm getting a Delorme PN-40 in a couple of days, perfect time for the winter and exploring new places

snow ride or should i say "hike a bike and ride some"

yes i litterally walk my bike all the way to the top of HM and i get a nice downhill run after that...but it's whort it i feel leg burning for good. other than running into a hiker,and a husky also a xc skier,..so far so good!i think the snow was about 1' deep...maybe more not so sure.

Has anyone been out recently? Might have the afternoon to myself tomorrow and thinking about getting out for a bit.

Any experiences with the Wayne PD and street parking on Chicoppee?

 

[liong71er]

i'm not so sure with wayne PD if you park at chicoppee,coz i never drive to trail head. you can park in entry #5 parking lot it's alot safer.

There are cars parked on the side all the time. I don't see why they would care. If you are nervous just park at the Residence Inn hotel and ride to the trail head. That is what I do but at work at the hotel. Have fun.

I didn't go out in the snow. But I'm dying to Ride the Blue!!!
