The Short Cut
The section of Hobbs Road between the Middle Fork of Coyote Creek and the
junction with Blue Ridge Road has long been known as "the Short Cut." This
road is extremely steep, climbing 1500 feet in about 1.3 miles. This is an
average grade of almost 22%, and since some brief sections are moderate or even
level, many parts are much steeper than 22%!
