mountainhorsega Posted September 13, 2010 #1 Posted September 13, 2010 Just curious about county road 257(I think). Leaves right at the entrance to little river canyon mouth park. has a sign that states "23 miles to Hwy 35. Not suitable for trailers, rv, semis," blah, blah, blah. What about motorcycles? looks blacktop and like it would be a blast by looking at the map.
royalstarjac Posted September 13, 2010 #2 Posted September 13, 2010 From what I understand from talking to Hillrider at the M&E in Rome, that road was washed out and isn't fixed yet.
mountainhorsega Posted September 13, 2010 Author #3 Posted September 13, 2010 There was a loose gravel sign on it last night but nothing about closed. We were thinking to take the Jeep first to see how much loose gravel. 23 miles on Gravel on a touring bike doesn't sound like fun. Thanks for the info
hillrider Posted September 13, 2010 #4 Posted September 13, 2010 If you go in from the west (lower river park) you can take the hill up to canyon river road. You want good tires and a good sense of balance because it is STEEP with switchbacks, and get most of the way to Hwy35 before hitting a detour sign that eventually brings you out a the gas station at the top of the hill. Great ride tho.

mountainhorsega Posted September 14, 2010 Author #6 Posted September 14, 2010 I don't see river canyon road. In the map below, we were at Canyon Mouth Park. (I was wrong on the road - it is 275 instead of 257. we talking about the same place?
