Description

The trail begins at a pullout off of Bogus Basin Road. The trail only sees low usage, so beware of down trees, especially early in the season. The trail is often used as a shortcut down to Eastside Trail and is very steep in some sections. There are a lot of switchbacks on the way down that will really test your skills since some of them are rather sharp with painful consequences.

There is a small climb about halfway down up the ridge line before the final descent onto the Eastside Trail . The final descent is down a ridge line and there are a number of steeps drops near some of the curves some make sure you stay on the trail.

Overall a very scenic trail tucked in the trees.
