Description
You'll be following a yellow blaze. From the bottom, the first half of this trail is an old doubletrack logging road that is a nice gradual climb. Around a mile and half up, the trail is singletrack. This singletrack is the easiest in the area with no major rocky sections making it a great climb or DH. It is a great link to Halfmoon Lookout Trail for a good introduction hike to the area.
