Description

Parallelling the Bell Rock Trail, this trail is a rocky pain in the ass mostly traveling through a washbed for the first third. The latter two thirds are pretty nice, and a good alternative to the crowded, wide, and less interesting Bell Rock Trail.

Nice differences in trail surface, rocks looking like a concrete highway.

Agree w/ description - a mediocre alternative to Bell Rock Trail. Bell Rock may be more fun if not crowded with hikers because of fun rollers.
