Description

Coming off the Walker Creek Trail #165, you start along a pretty creek.

Soon the trail begins to switch back up hill and you pass a huge rock shelter. From here the trail gets quite steep and powers up the hill, through loose cobbles.

As you reach the end, the trail flattens out as you reach the road and the beginning of the Bear Pen Trail.
