Description

Forster Canyon Trail, also known as part of the Flagpole Hill Trail by some, bends around the midline of a short ridge, meeting up with Patriot Trail before taking a dive into a shallow canyon meadow. The trails in this area are not well marked and appear to have different names on different maps, but this trail is clearly marked as Forster Canyon Trail (see picture).
