Description
This trail starts at one of the many parking spots along the Kettles Roadside Trail (see map). The trail is very easy to follow, as most of the trails that branch off of it are much smaller and not defined as well. Just follow the trail as it goes south then curves around to the west. Take a right when you get to Anthill and Baker View. Soon, there will be a straight-ish path that will slowly head southwest. Just keep straight when you pass Ladders, Chutes, Hook, and Hugh's Delight. After this the trail will take a sharp turn to the south, then to the west. Just keep straight when you pass the Boundary Trail, Hugh's Delight, Emilie's Ridge, and The Tunnel. Shortly after this, the trail will end on Fort Ebey State Park Road.
