Description

Start at the Nemo Bridge Trailhead, hiking along the river upstream for a short while, then turn up a few sets of switchbacks. After this, the terrain is pretty flat and even. You generally stay within sight of the Emory River.

Towards the end of the trail, you'll be rewarded with a view of the confluence of the Emory and Obed Rivers. The trail continues a bit longer until a small creek where a sign tells you the trail has ended. It is planned for this to eventually join up with the Cumberland Trail: Ross Gap to The Garden Spot in Frozen Head State Park.
