Description
Parking is off Sheridan Road in a little grassy area. Follow the green plastic diamonds; the diamonds only go as far as the junction with the Scenic Trail, though. The trail climbs moderately to the junction with the Scenic Trail (on the left), then climbs steeply to the upper junction with the Scenic Trail (on the left). The trail skirts along the edge of a ridge then meets with the Sheridan Woods Alternate (on the right). The main trail climbs the ridge, then descends to meet with the other end of the Sheridan Woods Alternate (on the right). Continuing straight along the snowmobile trail will take you to the Cabin Trail, where you can connect to Red Hill and Eagle Cliffs.
