Description
Initially traverses a steep side hill, then drops into a broad basin before joining the old Crest highway. Then the trail drops into the canyon above Bill Spring as it descends to the trail junction with Faulty Trail #195. This completes the trail from Ellis Trail #202 to Doc Long PG. It also makes a nice loop with Oso Corredor Trail #265
