hi there welcome to the beaten trail and in this episode we will continue our series on
famous reading outdoors locations and this is mount carmel part 2.
named after the nearby town this location can only be accessed via ashland north or locust gap there
is no parking lot this trip we chose to go through ashland north and then travel to our locations so
we made it out there with our team and we are going to identify three of the locations where
the biggest hills are so this is really the main draw at mount carmel and we've been here before
it's just so much fun and it can be anything from extreme to moderate or just driving around
and spinning your tires we are sure everyone who comes to mount carmel will really enjoy it
you always see some side by sides atvs and bikes and and you're really
just going to be amazed the size of the hills and the overall location
there are three of these locations at mount carmel and possibly more but we're going to
highlight them for you so you know we did some climbing but we're not extreme climbers
were able to enjoy the hills and we explored all the trails it is really a huge land area
we recommend that you use paprika it's easy to help you track and also see difficulty and
overall direction as well as real-time location you can run this on your ios or your tablet
we came over to this area and this is closest to the town and you will see the nearby active
mining area with equipment along with the mining equipment you'll see these hills and they're not
as large as everywhere else but you will see a large group of riders usually enjoying the hills
i would say it's probably their favorite area for this reason and we gave it a shot and had a great
time now certainly these hills are not at the biggest but there are even bigger ones to come
this smaller outcropping of land has some light basic trails on it
along with some water and marshy area but it may not be worth your time to visit optionally
you could just visit another time you do have to cross a road and a field to access
dead end but this is a blue that goes downhill and then we have to come back up the blue because it
ends in a dead end down another quarter mile so you guys want to do the blue and come back up
all right all in favor say aye
the eyes have it
so down we went these hills were not super rocky but there was a lot of off-camber riding
you're at a severe angle in some cases and you really just have to take it slow
but it's a good challenge we really do highly recommend it if you get a chance to visit this
it does go down to a dead end so like we said you have to come back up it ends down to the
end of the property in a railroad bed going down is just as much fun as coming back up
everybody had an enjoyable time and even though there was a little bit of tilting
and tight spaces for the wider units it was well worth the challenge
the weather was beautiful and it was a great time with friends
so
our final location is the ultimate hill in my opinion
it appears even bigger than the incline over a dark water none of us really have the
technical ability or the machine to properly handle this hill but it was a beautiful view
we didn't see anybody else out there although i do know people frequent it since i've seen other
youtube episodes but if you do get a chance get out there go to this location and see
all the hills and the sights you will run into some good challenges but you know for the day
we enjoyed mount carmel and we hope you do too so please get out there use your maps see your
friends spend the whole day there we do highly recommend it and we give it two big thumbs up so
thanks for watching please subscribe and we hope to see you out there on the trail thanks again
you
