Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but a couple of guys and I rode Lone Ranger heading south. When we got the south the end of the trail at marker 154 (over that great little Bridge!) we were planning to head further south on Outlaw, but we were unable to locate it. After some wandering aimlessly in the area up the trail we thought was Outlaw we found a river and that river had taken over the trail.... We were unsure if it was the cutline or Outlaw, so we ended decided not to take the chance of riding on restricted trails we just headed back on Lone Ranger.
So does the Lone Ranger to Outlaw intersection still exist, or is it just too well disguised for my razor sharp directional skills??

Cross the up and over, go right, cross the creek, then left through the open area, just stay closer to the right side of the open area.

Wow we were so close, but as they say a miss is as good as a mile!axel99 wrote:Cross the up and over, go right, cross the creek, then left through the open area, just stay closer to the right side of the open area.

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
I haven't ridden LR since the flooding, so maybe something has changed with the river Glen, but like Alex mentioned, you turn right on the truck trail after the up & over bridge, cross the river then look for an open meadow on your left, head to the S. W. corner of the meadow & look for the singletrack. Sounds like more signs have been pulled down.
Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
To be honest I don't even recall seeing the open meadow, will have to check it out again another time. But for sure the creek seemed to be flowing in all sorts of places where it should not, probably the result of the flooding.trailguy wrote:I haven't ridden LR since the flooding, so maybe something has changed with the river Glen, but like Alex mentioned, you turn right on the truck trail after the up & over bridge, cross the river then look for an open meadow on your left, head to the S.

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
I've ridden the trail you guys were likely on that parallel's the river in the trees, it eventually ends up in a swamp i believe. The meadow is approx. 100 meters after the river crossing.

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
The meadow was the grassy spot just after the up and over for the fence.

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
So we did head down that way for a bit, where those very steep hill climbs were on our left, guess we didn't look hard enough...Dakota_c69 wrote:The meadow was the grassy spot just after the up and over for the fence.

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
where is Lone Ranger? What trail markers does it start on?
I know a lot of trails out at FT, but the only one of which I know the name is Callaway. (I think thats the name.) and (Razor Back) I think that's the one too.
Is there a reference guide I can access to learn the names or is it all "up here" as they say. in the heads of enthusiasts.
I wish I had more time to me more active in the club like I planned to be this year, then I'd know more of these names.
thanks for the help, see ya!

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
If the steep hill climbs were on your left then you turned left after the up and over bridge. You need to turn right and cross the creek before getting to Outlaw on the left.cmurray wrote:So we did head down that way for a bit, where those very steep hill climbs were on our left, guess we didn't look hard enough...Dakota_c69 wrote:The meadow was the grassy spot just after the up and over for the fence.
Please don't climb or go over by those hill climbs as there is some equestrian stuff over there and they like to report all issue to SRD which makes it harder to keep trails in the area.

Re: Lone Ranger - Where does it go?
Yes, after heading to the river and seeing the river overtaking the trail, we thought we may have went the wrong direction, so we heading the other way towards those hill climbs, but quickly realized that was the actually the wrong way and just headed back on Lone Ranger. No hill climbing for us!
