Description
The trail begins on the north end at Forest Road 533, which spurs off of FR 538, the main road in the area. The trail descends into Trout Creek Canyon, and follows the creek, crossing it several times as you head southward down the canyon. In the upper reaches of the canyon, the forest is largely made of aspen groves. As you go farther south, you run through pines. Later on, the vegetation thins out, and you are in scrub land. At the bottom of the canyon, the road moves up and out of the canyon to connect with Forest Road 536, which either heads north to Trout Creek Pass, or south, going farther down Trout Creek.
