We have a change to the route because of some access issues. North of Jackson on the original route there was a problem crossing private property from the Big Swamp Creek Road to the Foothills Road. It involved not only crossing someone's ranch, but also, according to Jay, some bushwacking.
Fortunately we have a solution! From Jackson, we'll head north on Hwy 278 to the Twin Lakes Road. At Twin Lakes turn left (west) and take the 2nd right north toward the Rock Creek Road. At Rock Creek, we'll head west again through the Highland Ranch to Gibbonsville Road. I have created a GPX file of that section for you to download.

Thanks to Jay and especially to Ron for figuring out this go around and speaking with the landowner to get permission to cross their property!
Since we are crossing private property let's be extra careful about picking up all our trash, closing any cattle gates we may go through, and being friendly to any folks & animals we may encounter.
I also have cue sheets by sections for anyone who may want them. They are in PDF files and include maps. Please shoot me an email at sarahhamiltoncampisi@gmail.com if you would like me to send them to you electronically.

Hey all, just checking - under the home link where it has the download for the hole fitz barn route - is this down the current which has the re-route noted jackson/big hole area?
