Need to Know

There is some erosion to be aware of as you descend after the steep winding turns.

Description

Start of the trail is uphill with mild technical obstacles. The trail then starts downhill, with a small 12-18 inch drop shortly after starting downhill. Then there a couple 6 inch erosion control rail ties as you wind through some beautiful oak brush that during summer really narrows the path. As you pop out of the oak brush, the trail begins climb to the left through a couple of steep, winding turns and then downhill to connect with adjoining trails.
