Description

This wide trail has nothing technical, but does have a few challenging slopes to climb. At times the climb seems like it will never end. There are a few false peaks, and a few downhills only to have to climb again.

Along the way, there are a number of descending trails to the right: Gilman Trail (this is hiking only!), Sycamore Trail, McDermont Trail.

This trail is closed. I received a message 10/2/2019 from Superintendent Kelly Elliott stating that there is no funding to fix this trail. Pitiful..
