Description [Suggest Changes]

This is the old road that goes up Spring Canyon. It's closed to motor vehicles now, but still serves as a good climbing route to access the Lower Spring Creek Trail and the Connectors. It's even kind of fun going downhill.

This route features lots of interesting large boulders that line the trail. In the spring, this trail crosses a creek, which is normally a pretty easy crossing.

Though not characteristic of the whole system, there are a few fun features mixed in! Hoping more are created amongst the highly flowy system!
