Description
This short alternate route along Alexander's Ford offers a small loop for hikers and a more dynamic experience. This trail is slightly narrower than the doubletrack tread of Alexander's Ford and pushes the grade slightly more. While this trail is still recommended for beginners and experts alike, hikers should note that there is a switchback resulting a steep section about halfway along the trail.
