Franklyn et. al.- Interesting area. I'd like to loop Orr Springs with Low Gap but after having looked - it may be a bit ambitious given that it totals 45 miles and 6500' of climbing. Out on dirt, back on pavement? Is Running Springs Ranch Road a public road? Is it paved?
Are there any other loops in the area that offer dirt or dirt/pave combinations? Thanks for any other beta you can provide.
