Forgot to mention, make sure you take Turkey Creek Road back to the Cherohala off of River Road because most of the roads going up the mountain side turn into narrow, four-wheel paths! Not real good big bike roads! One local told me that, when when I was asking directions to the Skyway that a lot of the side roads start off with blacktop then turn to rocks and ruts, too narrow to turn around. Suggest that you find a local to ask, ask before you start up one of those side roads. Or, send your best rider with the worst bike up first and have him give you a call if he reaches the top.

I know that Turkey is blacktop, with a few potholes, all the way to the top.
