Description

Starting at the intersection with 2006 Trail, head east hugging the contour of the mountainside. The trail will eventually loop back around and start to head west around the south side of the mountain. It will switchback twice in order to gain elevation and finally intersect with the Entertainment Trail and the end of the 2006 Trail.
