Description
This descent to the parking lot has six switchbacks. Most of the trail is tight singletrack with a few particularly narrow spots created by close trees. The switchbacks are all very manageable. At the very end of the trail you come back out on Miller Road, so make sure to watch for cars. Take a left on the road and it will take you back to the parking lot.
