Description
After heading north from the Busera parking lot, take a right (east). Hike out and around the toe edge of Busera and head northeast towards the obvious zig-zags that go up Pyramid Trail. You'll peel off before Pyramid gets steep. Trail is well marked with "Cholla" posts after that. Mostly uphill heading out, with nice flowing path thereafter.
