Narrow Neck

This section starts from the NPWS locked gate and heads south to a great lookout via two major climbs and descents.

While it's a plain old 4WD trail, each descent, both directions, is steep, loose, drainage across road, wet, slippery and likely to end you up over a cliff at the turning points.
Just the grades on these two points I think gives it the Black Diamond. Almost as steep as my 20year old memory of Bedford Creek.

But if you can get past all that and really, the scenery, it slows you down so much, anyhoo, it's a nice afternoon in good weather.

Watch for tourists strolling and bike tourists bike strolling.
Should be no vehicles south of the gate.
