Description
This trail departs Headquarters and travels along a ridge top until its terminus at Blair-Wallis Road. From Headquarters, it's a rocky and overgrown descent into a small meadow. The rest of the trail is a nice roller coaster (up and down and up and down) following the ridge top. The trail ends with a rocky descent to Blair-Wallis Road. This is a great way to connect to the Vedauwoo area trails, or follow Blair-Wallis to the base of Headquarters. The trail does not see a lot of use so finding and staying on the trail can be difficult. Bring a map or, better yet, bring the Mobile App. There are no trail markings on this trail as it is not recognized by the USFS, but it is maintained by locals.
