Lee, might you have been on the road south of
mailbox? Granite lakes is the second road on the
right past valley camp.

1.5 miles up the road it becomes so brushy that you have to push your bike through the small trees and branches. I turned around. I was bummed especially after spotting a bobcat as I began grinding up the road.
The trac was fine and the area is beautiful but I hope someone tries to save this before the foliage returns the trac wilderness. It looks like hikers made their own trail make it the lakes.

Killer grind uphill, not for the weak legged. I was pushing my bike for the last two miles. Great swimming in the lake to cool off before the rocky descent.
