Description

The full name for this trail is Jim Donnelly East Connector Trail. If you come down Middle Steer Ridge Trail, this is the most direct way to get back to Jim Donnelly Trail. It's very similar to Jim Donnelly Trail in that it's extremely well maintained with logs and piles of rocks keeping the track well-defined. There are plenty of switchbacks making it easily climbable. The terrain is mostly smooth and not technical.
