This section of the Glenwood Horse Trail travels through the national forest, dwindling in width from well kept double track to challenging single track as you progress southwards. <br />
<br />
You can access Hellgate Horse Trail from Locher Tract. Glenwood Horse Trail picks up where Hellgate ends. Bikes are not allowed in the Thunder Ridge Wilderness Area, so take Petites Gap road if you want to reach the Blue Ridge Parkway, where the GHT exits the wilderness area and bikes are again permitted.
From I-81, take exit 180 to route 11 south. <br /><br />Turn left onto route 130. <br /><br />Turn right onto Arnolds Valley Road.<br /><br /><br /><br />Turn left onto James River Road.<br /><br /><br /><br />The road ends at Locher Tract.
