It's also possible to reach the trailhead by heading up the pass road, which is tarmacked halfway up and finished as a white path.

The trailhead can also be reached by walking up the pass road, which is half asphalted and finished with a white path.

Scooters and other machines are not permitted on mountain bike trails.
