Description

Start from the Davis Gulch dirt road where multiple parking areas are provided and immediately start climbing on switchbacks. After the initial climb, the trail will straighten and the grade will lessen. Soon you'll come to a major trail intersection which is the start of the prime Mt. Ascension Park trail system.
