Description

This trail starts at the Cowboy Shack parking lot and climbs to the north on doubletrack before bearing west as singletrack for about a mile. It starts out flowy, then climbs a short way up some sandstone until it intersects Eliza's Ridge Trail.

You can make a short loop by returning on Liam's Lark to the parking lot, or a bigger one by incorporating Eliza's Ridge to Cooka's Loop.
