I'll make sure to note that in the review above... thanks for sharing the info! <br /><br />Next time I'm in Brevard I'll definitely stop in and say hey. Loved the trails that you guys have, I wish I was able to spend more time there when I passed through. Hopefully it won't be too long until I'm back!Greg Heilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398037028525677146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-409782131288467262.post-37707499063005482412010-10-13T22:32:46.029-04:002010-10-13T22:32:46.029-04:00@Greg, No they are closed April 15 - Oct 15 during...@Greg, No they are closed April 15 - Oct 15 during the busy hiking summer season. If you look carefully on the Nat Geo map in the trail list it has a half white and half brown bike sign indicating that it is a seasonal trail. <br /><br />Next time you are in town stop on by The Hub at Backcountry Outdoors, I'm the Manager, and would love to talk to you about the trails and what all we are trying to do in the forest.<br />http://www.hubbicycles.comDavishttp://www.hubbbicycles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-409782131288467262.post-50710034910594889042010-10-07T07:53:20.640-04:002010-10-07T07:53:20.640-04:00Wait, you meant closed October 15-April 15 and ope...Wait, you meant closed October 15-April 15 and open April 15-October 15, correct?Greg Heilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398037028525677146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-409782131288467262.post-45912187891136440042010-10-07T07:52:23.205-04:002010-10-07T07:52:23.205-04:00Hey Davis, Thanks for the info, I'll be sure t...Hey Davis, Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to add that. <br /><br />Does anyone know what is up with the sketchy looking stickers on the trail signs for this trail claiming that it is illegal for bicycles? If they weren't made of peel off labels and Sharpie I might have wondered more if they were official... but as it is I just assumed it was either disgruntled horse people or hikers. (Also the map and guide book listed above have this labeled as a legal trail.)<br /><br />Anyone have more info?Greg Heilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398037028525677146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-409782131288467262.post-67240236057730200162010-10-06T22:55:58.176-04:002010-10-06T22:55:58.176-04:00It should also be noted that this is a seasonal tr...It should also be noted that this is a seasonal trail that is closed April 15-October 15Davishttp://www.hubbicycles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-409782131288467262.post-44893831710199227002010-10-06T10:33:04.408-04:002010-10-06T10:33:04.408-04:00Ahh, Coontree Gap ...
