Description
The Cut-Off Trail starts as a hard left turn while climbing out of the Valley View area. The doubletrack climbs gently at first but gets significantly steeper as you get closer to the ridge. Look across the Ridge Top Trail for the beginning of the descent. From here, the trail heads steadily downhill, passing a junction with the Red Tail Trail before coming to it end.
