Stokes-Sunrise Mountain road

If you get out early, there is still an opportunity to get a good ride in.

Ridden that route many times on the road bike and the tandem (road). Never in the snow though. The last little kicks up to the overlook and the one to the monument in High Point are a real bi**h for us flatlanders. We generally start at Swartswood Lake in Newton. Thanks for the pics!

Its paved/chip seal. Fine on a road bike when not snow covered.

Great riding up there. I did an awesome loop with @soundz a few years back. I need to get up there again.

You can link it with High Point:

My ride was from the winter access lot in High Point; following Sawmill Rd, it continues onto Ridge Rd. The Parker Trail will track across the road into Stokes. Any look at the park maps and following snow machine tracks makes guiding through the parks self explanatory. Expect +20 miles for anything interpark, doing the Stokes Sunrise Mountain lot and return is 10 miles.

Loop of day, 4 of 10 stars for conditions. High Point is plowed on Sawmill Rd and under ice is unpredictable. Stokes fine in the street, Parker Trail was okay, nothing else is kept right. Ride again after dry I say is the best, unless moar snow falls and then roll with the snowmobiles.

I road sections of HP Sat and did Sunrise Sunday. They used a bucket loader and cleared snow off the road maybe halfway up from Culvers lake side, Left a lot of slick ice instead. it was cold so the snow was very firm. perfect fatbike conditions.
