Poston is ALWAYS open! The trail drains very well and does not close for rain.

Trees are color coded with spray paint. Soccer loop is marked with blue dots.

There is a steel cable across the trail at the start of the Soccer Loop to prevent ATV's and dirtbikes from accessing Spencer Mountain. Just climb over and keep going—the trail is not closed.

Description

This trail is mostly a climb as it approaches Spencer Mountain and mostly downhill as it approaches the Big Leaf loop.
