Description

From the trailhead with ample parking off W End Road, this trail snakes its way from the street noise to solace in the woods. It's graveled surface until the doubletrack, and shortly after the climbing begins. It levels off near its end at the intersection with Vista #10 and S. Fork Janes Creek trails.
