Description
This infrequently traveled trail is most often used to travel towards Allison Peak or to Ed Levin Park. Some may take this route to access the summit of Mission Peak, which is much easier ascent that heading up the Peak Trail. The hike is mostly descending with an uphill at the end toward the Eagle Loop Trail. Expect a slightly rougher surface and some resident cows.
