Description

The entrance and exit to the trail are shown as Orange blazes on the trees. This trail makes for a nice warmup for the rest of the trails. It starts out easy, then climbs, then there are some rocks. Next, you'll descend to an easy finish. The low/easy parts can get muddy for a few days after serious rains.
