Description

This trail begins at the 4-way intersection with Birchfield Camp Extension and Birchfield Camp Lake Loop and starts with a gradual descent along the backside of Higgins Ridge. The track is mostly overgrown doubletrack and sometimes singletrack following the contour below the ridgeline. Two left turns near the end bring you back to the intersection with Birchfield Camp Extension.
