I started this trail at the junction of trail 713 on rd 555. From here it is a steep climb for about the first mile. When nearing the top there is a clear area. Look for the trail to turn left in this area. I missed it and continued up to the summit. Then used offline maps to guide me to the trail. From here it is mostly downhill with some flat and some small climbing. I connected this trail with trail 719
