Description

This is a short, narrow connector between the Burroughs Range Trail (Wittenburg Cornell Slide Trail) and Phoenicia East Branch Trail (Yellow) - West. Along the way, enjoy varied terrain and alternating steeps and sweet flats. It offers two views of the Lone, Table, and Rocky Mountains that are otherwise obscured by trees.
