Description
The Braille Trail once had interpretive signs in braille and waist-high guidewire designed for blind hikers. However, the trail was vandalized and they have all been removed until the trail can be restored. From the parking area, the trail has a shallow descent/ascent on a wide singletrack. At the halfway point, you take a right turn (if going clockwise) to finish the last half of the loop. There is a bench situated to see the Continental Divide through the trees about 3/4 of the way around the loop.
