Description
From the Frontier Shopping Center, start up the hill on Clifton Street immediately turning left into a small gravel parking lot that is fenced in. The trailhead is visible at the rear of the parking lot, starting off with a small climb then passing the beginning of the Cisler Trail. The trail reaches a paved road and continues directly across the street. The trail overlaps the Upper Frontier Trail for a short distance before breaking away on the right and continuing to climb up the hill. The Glendale Trail is also accessible from this trail.
