Description

This fun and popular route is a great descent from the Mt Helena Ridge Trail.

It begins in an open meadow and drops quickly into a wide drainage. The open slopes transition to open forest with big pine trees. The lower portions of the route follow a narrow drainage in thick forest.

The route ends at Grizzly Gulch Road.
