Description
This trail can be used as a cut-through from Calamity Brook Trail to Indian Pass Trail, although it is much more difficult in terrain and only saves less than a mile. If you are coming from Calamity Brook Trail, take a right at the sign that says "Indian Pass". The trail starts out flat but quickly turns to a poorly marked climb following a stream with deep mud. When you crest the ridge you'll start a steep downhill over a few creeks. This will eventually take you to Indian Pass Trail, where you can take a right for .7 miles for Wallface Lean-to, or a left for less than a half mile to Henderson Lean-to.

Some Issues
Downed Tree
Overall, trail was not very maintained. You will play hide and seek with the trail. Be careful at the Indian Brook crossing bridge, it is sideways and can’t be crossed. You can rock jump instead.
