Description
This trail begins shortly after the gate on the Carriage Road. It stays mostly flat for the first quarter mile and then starts to climb rapidly at a steep grade. You'll reach a viewpoint at approximately 0.8 miles up the trail. The trail ends at the intersection with the Belknap Range Trail and a short distance further along this trail takes you to the summit and Gunstock Mountain ski area.
