Description
From the Fullerton Road Trailhead, this dirt road ascends a tough 10-15% grade for half a mile in the sun to a flat spot below the power line towers. (There is a no-name singletrack if you climb to the base of the highest tower.) Staying left on the dirt road, it does a short up-and-down, then descends continuously to Powder Canyon Trail. This last downhill stretch is a more mild slope and mostly covered by trees.
