If you want to see stunned looks on hikers' faces - this is the climb to do. It doesn't mess around at all, but it's also short, so you can take a breathe when you get to the top.
Zipping in from Old West Road, you'll past a subdivision, a bunch of cars parked for the woods and lake, then the gate, and then turn left, and pop!
The road goes up, and bar a few left turns, the road goes straight.
Brutal. Short. Awesome.
You earn the view from the top, and the flight down! (Check yer brakes!)
