Description
This trail begins off of Crags Road near Century Lake. The Cage Canyon Trail rapidly and steeply ascends the canyon, with minimal switchbacking, among oak and sycamore trees for 3/10 of mile before reaching a juncture with the Deer Leg Trail and Lookout Trail. Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description. To learn more about trails in California, check out his guides at The Trailmaster Store.
