Description
This trail can really only be accessed via other trails, but you can couple with with many other trails to make some great loops through scenic backcountry. You can access the south side via the Boundary Trail #272. Access can be from Harkness Canyon, Bird Canyon, or Beach Hollow. The north end can be accessed via Reed Canyon or Upper Bob Smith Trail, which you can access via South Fork of Pebble Creek. The trail follows the creek the whole way. There are plenty of sheep up in these parts, so be courteous of livestock.
