Description
Park in the newly improved Galbraith parking lot. Cross the road and take the Carcas trail for a tenth of a mile. Cross the road again and start climbing on the Chute trail. At the first junction turn right and start heading uphill. After another 10th of a mile stay left and continue up Spruce Gap as it steepens. The trail is smooth overall with one very steep section that is rocky and rugged. After reaching the apex of the trail, you'll reach a T-intersection which signifies its end.
