Description
Trail connects Art Lobe to Cedar Rock Mountain Trail via the southern ridge of the mountain. It's easy to miss the start off of Art Loeb, but easy to find at the top. Trail is un-blased but easy to follow the whole time with great views and multiple camping sites. Trail ends at the main campsite on top of Cedar Rock. This is a great way to get to the top of the mountain when it may be too slick to do the scramble on Cedar Rock Mountain Trail.
