Description
A trail running from the Sterling Forest parking area up a ridge where it meets the Sterling Ridge Trail. Continue on the trail down a small ravine with a creek and the West Valley Trail. It could be quite marshy at times here as you join the West Valley Trail heading south for a short ways before heading back west. At the top of the hill, you'll find an excellent look out over the lake. Continue south and then east to where the trail ends at West Valley and Fire Tower Trail.
