REVIEW
These photos are from Mushroom to Severed Dick. This portion of the Baden Powell is not ridden much anymore as access to Severed Dick. The better access is down the Powerlines to Severed Dick (Upper).

REVIEW
The Upper Baden Powell is a nice access trail to some pretty technical trails. The part of the trail that is from the road to Old Buck has been laid with gravel and is a nice ride with just a few short climbs. From Old Buck to the Powerlines it is rocky and has a few good climbs. The main feature of the trail here is that the trail is really rocky until the last climb. After the last climb the trail turns into a really nice dirt double track. Once you turn the corner it becomes rocky again until the Powerlines. The Baden Powell actually turns off of this section. When you see the sign just head west. This section of the Baden Powell is mainly a dirt singletrack with a few drops and logs. There is nothing too technical here until you reach the Cunt Buster. From here the trail is a steep descent until you reach the lower part of the Baden Powell. This section of the trail is a black diamond because of the steepness and windy nature of the trail and the stairs involved. Enjoy.
