Description

The trailhead isn't distinct, but look for the sign that mentions the scenic overlook off the south side of the paved trail. The trail is fairly rough and the switchbacks are pretty steep/uneven. At the end of the trail, there is a single picnic table under the trees and overlooking the Craig Crossing Park. This is a very short trail, but unique to the area.

The sign is obvious, but it might not be clear to some that this is the trailhead. Just start walking through the opening in the trees and the trail will start to become more visible.
