Description
The trail begins traveling along the ridge top, with many openings in the forest offering god views of the surrounding area. The trail goes through a couple of grassy clearings, dropping to the road becoming a bit harder to find again. There is some deer and elk sign. Campsites are available all along the trail.
Even though there are campsites along this route, drinking water must be brought along. This area was burned in a 1991 fire.
