Once leaving Hell Creek Road, the DBBB turns sharply down a cliff-side shelf and switches back until it reaches the flow of Walker Creek. The water level here can be tricky, scout ahead before attempting and be aware of the slippery exits. This historic road continues up the forested hill steeply and encounters a muddy, washed out switch back before finally flowing into the picturesque rock garden of Old Fincastle Road. This section of trail can seem daunting but careful line selection and keeping tires on the highest points of rocks allows the enthusiast to enjoy the challenge and scenery that rivals any outdoor adventure east of the Mississippi.
Once you achieve the top of the ridge past the iconic rock garden of Old Fincastle Road, the DBBB heads west on Ky 2016 and then abruptly darts to the south on the Big Andy Road.
*For those bypassing Old Fincastle Road, continue north on US 11 and turn onto KY 715 to connect to KY 2016 to a left on Big Andy Road*
