Hi Lacy,
I am pretty sure I know the trail you are talking about. I have a dual sport Moto and recently road up the fire road to scout out mtb riding areas. The logging road is almost solid rock and can handle Moto traffic easily. The trail I think you are referencing is a different story altogether. I saw Moto tracks and was tempted but it looked too pristine. The soil is soft and there are too many tight switchbacks to be sustainable for motos. A no go for me.
This is a timely article. There are a couple of trees down a few hundred yards up from the entrance of the trail and I was thinking of clearing them so I could ride my mountain bike through there but I think leaving them there as a barrier is the best option.
And yes, that climb is brutal.
