Description
This is a singletrack hardpacked trail through the Potholes Area. An actual singletrack trail (compared with the old roads faded to singletrack main trails in this area), this trail gently descends to the Ancient Lakes, connecting you to a view of the waterfall and the camping areas. No trail names or intersections are labeled, but every trail in this area loops you back to the main Gorge Amphitheater Trail.
