Description

Get ready for an adventure on this singletrack. Follow the salmon/pink paint on the trees from Buttermilk Trail #729 at the south end to Helen's Loop Trail #712. From Hang Glider Trail #719 to Cotton Place Trailhead, it's pretty overgrown but still manageable. The elevation change on the way is manageable, but you'll want to watch for typical obstacles such as roots and rocks.
