Description
This trail starts at Rice Cabin and heads northward. The trail immediately turns left (along the edge of a field). It merges with Yellow and follows this towards Rice Road. Orange turns right (off of Yellow) and travels on its own. Near the north end of the pond, the trail takes a narrow singletrack around a wet area. It fuses with Blue (for a short ways), then turns left (northward). Here, the trail arcs around the outer perimeter, then runs southward. The trail fuses with Blue, then eventually Yellow and runs back down to Rice Cabin.
