Tried this route from Parkdale. So remote! Very nice. A few steeper sections. Very nice.

Discovered this route last summer and rode it many times as it quickly became one of my favorite gravel rides. You can also combine it with the connector road over to NF16 for a very fast decent on a single lane paved road but be careful of ascending vehicle traffic if you do this, especially log trucks.
