Description

Wheelchair accessible trail video showing the terrain at Teller Farm Trail. http://osmp.org

A

Here we are at the South Taylor farm trailhead, just going to show you how accessible it is. I'm going to do a little tour, beautiful area here, a great place to picnic, pretty tough bathroom, it's about 15 pounds of pressure to get in. Sometimes you have to use your feet. So, let's go check out this trail.

A

Sometimes you'll find ruts at the trailhead kind of have to just maneuver around them.

A

The gates about 4 pounds of tension to get through not too bad.

A

Got about 1,100 feet so far. This is the east boulder trail, the ones around and reconnects. With the teller farm trail, a lot of weeds and goat heads are on it. So it's pretty easy to puncture a tire will go the other way. Instead.

A

We're going to head over to tell roll egg number one. First, we have to go up. The steep little hill starts out about 5%. That goes all the way up to twelve percent. For a couple feet. Average is about 9%. Here we go.

A

Here we are at the lake just going to cruise down the slope it's about six percent with a little bit, that's about 12%, 45 feet or so.

A

Here's the twelve percent there we go, you use a little bit of a whip.

A

Who we are on the deck perfect day for fishing I'm gonna, do a little bit of that I have to lower the guardrails.

A

Sweet good ooh, oh, it feels like a big one feel like I'm gonna lose the rod. I look at that got myself a fish. Oh.

A

Let's go at the trails.

A

These folder trail connects back in with the teller trail and we'll just keep going down to the North Taylor trail train ahead.

A

Sometimes you'll see a red tail hawk flying up above or a bald eagle or some sort of migratory bird, a lot of water towel.

A

He's a great time to be out here lot of lilacs bloom, a lot of birds flying around.

A

Smells good a great trail to do a little bit a hand cycling on yeah. Let's go bike.

A

This is one of the tougher spots on the trail. Rich is pretty old, but a one inch to inch lip on a lot of it hard to get over with a wheelchair, but it's doable and yeah just be careful.

A

A

Reach the North Taylor farm trailhead, that's the end at the 2.7 miles, teller, contrail.
