Description

Accessed at the small parking lot at the end of a park road. The trail heads downhill into the valley along a old fire road. Terrain along this trail is still less than desirable with rocks dotting the way.

At the bottom of the trail, hikers will be able to link up with many trails including Advanced Ski Trail, Rhododendron Trail, and Mont Chateau Trail.
