Description

The eastern half of the trail crosses Martinez Cr. canyon with a rocky descent, bash through the willows at the bottom, and a steep, rocky, technical section to gain the west rim of the canyon. From there, it tends to follow the overhead power line more closely.

The western half of the trail is an old, rocky, eroded road following the power line. There is no parking for this trail though it does begin at the subdivision roads.

Pline actually goes farther up to Pagosa St. Ride down dusty, rocky doubletrack to get to fun, techy descent to nice ravine section. Then hike up.
