Description

A great alternative for bikers with dogs during hot weather, Malcom Tank is a dependable cool down stop. The trail descends from upper Plush Trail through Ponderosa forest and then down an intimate little drainage to connect with lower Plush Trail again. Look for delicate purple iris flowers in late spring and early summer.
