Description
This trail heads up from the intersection of Lower Truck Trail and Skyuka Trail. From there, head uphill at a relatively comfortable incline. Cutting across the hill, you eventually switchback and pass the Upper Truck Trail on your left at about 1 mile. Take a right turn from here and one more switchback leads up to Jackson Gap Trail.
