Description

Follow the path along the edge of the park and the trail becomes a singletrack that runs up a hill skirting a neighborhood then over a low ridge near Quarry Hill. There are a couple of tight switchbacks near the top. The singletrack continues on the other side of the ridge until the trail merges with an old jeep trail before terminating at the Fossil Hill Loop Trail.
