Description
This trail is maintained gravel and follows Surface Creek. It is a great trail to hike as an out and back as it adds some intensity hiking back up. There is even a cool feature that the local library added which is a book that appears page by page as you hike along the trail, and it is updated monthly in the summer. This trail can be combined with Old Goat Road to make this a 10+ mile out and back.
