Description

This trail starts with two tabletops and a g-out. Next, it climbs till the parking lot and then starts to descend many sets of rollers and long berms.

Finally, the trail becomes rocky and traverses the hill with grade reversals, finishing at the creek. This is one of the longest descents in the park.

Most of the trails in Lake Fairfax blend together, and unless you are using your phone or map you'll be on more than one trail.
