Description

This trail connects Lions Den Picnic Area and Trailhead with Graham Canyon Trail. The out-and-back nature of this trail in a place where loops are plentiful, and the fact that this trailhead is much smaller than others, mean that this is one of the more seldom-ridden trails in Thompson Park. It is nice enough, with a few switchbacks and a smooth but sandy trail surface.
