Description
From the starting point, expect a steep, but short, climb. After the initial climb the trail mellows out and it rolls until it reconnects with the Rough Creek Inner Loop. This can be used to add some mileage. In the summer it is likely to be severely overgrown, as it does not seem to see any of the maintenance some of the other trails see.
