Description

This trail is short and steep. If you are coming from the Davidson River Campground on the Art Loeb Trail, you'll make a right onto the North Slope Connector (look for the sign). This is a very sharp right turn, so you could miss it if you are too busy looking for roots and snakes.

You'll pass through dense rhododendron and open deciduous forest before joining the North Slope Loop.
