Description
This trail is a lot steeper than the new Fry-Koegel Trail. From Fry-Koegel Trail, the trail heads south, starting out with a couple of steps. It steadily ascends up the northern slope of Mt. Woodson. After a half mile, you reach Mt. Woodson Trail. You can get a very good view north across the mountains at most points along the trail.
