Built as a military road, it\u2019s original purpose was to support military installations strategically located along its 39 mile length.  Today, the forts are abandoned and the LGKS serves as a mecca for off road enthusiasts on two and four wheels.  The trail leaves little room for error, so it is not for the novice rider or driver as the above video illustrates.

What do you do when you\u2019ve ridden the Liguri Border Comb Route a few hundred times and are in need of a new challenge?  Why, ride the hiking trails, of course!<\/p>\n<p>If the first video gave you vertigo, don\u2019t even think about watching the next two.
