Description

Starting from the intersection of the Palmer Trail and the Susan G. Bretag Trail, this trail heads straight north, away from the Garden of the Gods. The trail passes through some scraggly brush without a lot of shade. After about a third of a mile, the trail will turn east. It will intersect and end at the exercise trail that runs parallel to N 30th Street.

Kind of flat and boring
