Description

This loop trail is follows the path of an old logging road. The majority of the route is over open ground along the contour of the slope as it courses south, east and then north.

Orange snow trail marking poles will be placed once >2 feet of snow is on the ground to mark the route. The trail route is particularly difficult to locate as you approach Marker D from the south.

The final 100 yards or so is a moderate climb. The section between marker C and D has blue diamond markers in the trees.
