Trail 137 is a half-loop-shaped trail along the western edge of Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) between trails 112 and 148. Trail 137 starts with a steep and loose rocky hillclimb that will tilt your vehicle to 20 degrees. After traversing the volleyball-sized rocks, you trek through tight trees and brush, guaranteeing pinstripes on your vehicle, before descending a steep and loose hill and passing some old mining equipment. Route finding down the ridgeline past the equipment can be challenging as the paths change and deteriorate through the tailings. Be extremely cautious dropping down the tailings as you will encounter dangerous off-camber tilts up to 28 degrees. This trail is best suited for experienced off-road drivers in slightly modified vehicles with larger tires and skidplate protection.
