Need help from ashland to stair steps

Can anyone tell me the best way to get from ashland resort to the stair steps other than just take pavement? Thanks for any help.

u can get there on H/M trail in behind ashland resort

Thanks for the info.

I wish I could help you but its difficult to give directions up there since the trails are not marked. There are several different ways to do it. The easiest is like Big G said, go up behind Ashland, get off near Hilltop Escape and take the trail down from there. It's not the quickest way but its the easiest to explain.

bigdaddyp,
I believe that would be HM Trail 93 at a "do not enter not part of the trail system sign".
N37. 25.348 and W81 18.732 give or take a few feet. but the hilltop resort will be on the right after you just go a little ways. its a little rutted out but gets you there pretty quick and you come out at the stairsteps where the pavement ends and the downhill begins.

We are in site 93, 94, 95

If you are still here, come on by & I'll show you several ways

Thanks guys. Shawn I may just get up with you. Gonna be there Friday am. Thanks again.

I remember the first time I rode the wagon wheel trails and I stopped and asked directions and the fellow said.."just follow your nose" well I'm here to tell you...if you do that make sure you got plenty of gas....

From the Ashland Store take trail 12 , then 50, then 60 . Go down 60 a short ways and 60 will make a hard turn to the right. In the that turn is a outlaw
trail (called No Entry : eh eh) that goes straight away from 60. Take it and
stay left (remember stay left). It will drop down between a few houses
in Crumpler. Turn right onto the main crumpler road. Go up to the play ground
and turn left right beside the fence. Go down this road about 200 yards and
take a left up the hill. You will come to a fork. Take the left fork.
Then you will come to a "Y". Take the hard!!! right here (I mean hard)
and continue up hill to the stair case. Wish I could show you.

PS: Do not take this trail unless you like riding off road. It could scratch a new machine.
There are a few wash outs to navigate. Anybody with 2000+ miles should be able to make it.

if anyone knows the way (zingo is the man) !
