Description

Enter this trail just south of the berm which is placed to keep out vehicles. There are 3 large rocks where the trailhead is located. This short trail connects to 1195A, and provides access to the creek/drainage. Expect a double wide gravel path, with a thick pine forest. This is a relatively easy hike down into the hollow. Large bluffs and caves 1/4 mile from trailhead, just off the trail on the left. Mountain views all the way down to the creek.
