General Notes

This area is popular with motorcyclers and mountain bikers. Be considerate of all trail users, when encountering stock on the trail, kill the motor on the motorbike, and lean the bike against the cut-slope of the trail. Talk to the horseriders so the stock can recognize your location and not feel threatened by your actions. Move off the lower side of the trail and continue talking to the animals until all have past. Mountain bikers and hikers can take their packs and bikes off the lower side of the trail with them, and talk to the animals to reassure them. These measures will assure safety to everyone for their common enjoyment.
