A nice peaceful ride relatively close to Franklin. It is a bit of a workout due to the climbs but the climbs are followed by fun descents. Mostly well packed gravel but watch out for some loose areas when speeding down the downhill sections. A few cars on the first two miles because the popular Rufus Morgan Trail and Falls is here. After the small parking area at the trail head I saw no one for the remainder of the ride out. It's about a 5 ride to the mapped end of the road but there is a gate off the left and the road continues. I rode about another mile on that section but turned around due to lack of time. I will eventually go back to investigate where it leads. That portion is much less traveled and turns to dirt doubletrack.
