Description

This is a moderately steep doubletrack that can be used to link Browns Creek Trail #1429 to Little Browns Creek Trail #1430 or Mt. Antero 1A. From Browns Lake, the road climb is manageable at first before becoming extremely steep. The grade, combined with the elevation and loose tread make much of this road a difficult hike.

I would not call this section of road "extremely steep". Calling it anything more than steep is an exaggeration IMHO.
