Description

Head slightly uphill from Alan Seeger Rd, Ross trail is just past the fire tower.

The trail is entirely downhill and winds through a wooded and shady area. The surface is dirt with a lot of rocks and quite a few rock gardens. There's one very steep portion between 1 and 1.5 miles in. Some of the parts after the steeps stay very wet after rainfall, so beware.
