While mountain bikers can ride to Sun Top via the Sun Top Trail, if you prefer another way to challenge yourself, you can take Forest Road 7315—a gravel road with gentler curves that climbs to the top, offering a rewarding adventure with great views.
The road is typically open to vehicle and bike traffic from late spring through early fall—usually from around May to September—but the gate at the summit may be closed outside these months or when parking is full. It's best to check current road conditions with the U.S. Forest Service before heading out.
