Overview

A nicely flowing downhill/uphill with multiple switchbacks.

Description

This trail is great in either direction, as a climb however, the trail starts relatively flat and winds its way up the eastern slope of the Open Space to a four-way intersection. Choose your own adventure from this point - Rambler is a great descent to the left or right, or stay straight to continue climbing on Nowhere Elks.
