Description

Christmas Tree connects the popular Fat Man's Loop hiking trail with the Arizona Trail on the east side of Mount Elden. It is fairly level through the forest, with just a few mellow ups and downs. Watch for several social trails that lead down to neighborhoods below. The main trail is generally well signed at these intersections.
