I did this ride a few weeks ago, and it was the first time I'd been ATVing in the Woodside Anticline area (also called the Chimney Rock area by dirt bikers). Instead of planning my route ahead of time like I normally do, I just drove to the staging area and started bumming around. There are a lot of singletrack motorcycle trails in the area, and a few times I accidentally started down a bike trail and had to backtrack when it got too narrow and rough for my four-wheeler. There are a lot of trails there that I didn't get a chance to explore, including one that was just too steep and rocky for me--I'll try it again after I get a winch on my machine. I'm going back here this weekend, and I'll try some other trails and report back.
