We're at the fourth of July trailhead, another great Oh, SMP location. We have an accessible campsite up here and there's actually a little accessible trail to that takes you down by the stream. So we're going to go check it out now so got a few pretty steep spots, a 12-percent 44 feet at the beginning, and then we have about ten percent a couple times and quite a bit at eight percent. But it's good fun. Let's go check it out.

Off the way should be sufficient. Can't you can't hear ya simply come up and check it out.

Whoa we're at the fourth of July trailhead right now, checking out the second accessible trail. Really cool little trail takes you about 200 feet down here, and then it drops down towards the river pretty easy. This first section, it's only seven eight percent grade for a few feet and then it's flat. So let's go check it out.

Just reached the intersection now we're going to head down towards the pier great place to go fishing. It's only about 190 feet from here. Probably the worst part is the nine percent grade 45 feet not too bad a little bit of a cross slope, three percent for some of it, but let's go check it out.

What coming down into the pier a little bit of the slope all right, the stream, so we made it to the creek. This would be a great day for fly-fishing, be so awesome if I had a pole, all right, let's go fishing.
