Description

Add this as an entree, or a dessert, to your Lair o' the Bear out-n-back, or Mt Falcon-Lair loop. When paired with the Castor Cutoff Trail, it makes for a short and delicious loop.

This short, mellow (except for the two very tough switchbacks) trail is 100% singletrack and can be accessed from two points. The eastern entrance starts off of the Bear Creek Trail and the other end intersects with the Castor Cutoff Trail just after the bridge.
