Those are grouse roads, You can see where your going and where you have been,

Here, where I am, The roads are covered in trees and you can only guess where the road goes,

But if you took the trees away, they would be very similar to these roads, and nearly as steep.

Great thread man !!

took you 12 times to decide you didn't like it ? I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure gavia pass looks sweet which way is the best to ride it ? North to south or south to north?
