A new owner on the property next to ours decided not to allow us access to her property so that we can reach a part of our property which is not easy to get to in a vehicle any other way. Even went so far as to put up barbed wire and a no trespassing sign across the trail on the property line.
I drove up the hard way
Also did some trail blazing.
Also took her down to meet the random tractor that was flipped and burnt up. Dying to know what the story is there.

You can thank, "adverse possession" laws for that. Basically, if she knows you are using the route, and she does not stop you, then (in most states) after 7 years of you using it, you own it.
You could literally drive a road across her property, cutting her property in half, and wind up owning that road.
I think that's insane, wrong, and a whole lot of other bad words, but it's a legal reality.
A friendlier way around that, which protects her property rights, is for her to grant an easement to you. Basically, she gives you permission in writing to drive there, subject to certain limitations and conditions. A legal document is prepared and signed by both parties (it's a contract) and [usually] filed with the county, which grants you limited rights to drive across her property. It can be configured a lot of different ways. For example, it can automatically terminate if she sells the property, or it can be binding on the next owner, or terminate after a set time, or on your death, or.....
The key is that it is a mutual agreement, and forestalls any adverse possession claims.
But if she just doesn't want you on her property, well, enjoy the difficult route.
