Description
The trail is accessed via the Hidden Mesa Trail or the Rim Loop Trail. It avoids the "Rocky Pass" section of the Hidden Mesa Trail and offers a more gradual incline. At the top of the climb, you'll reach the junction with Rim Loop Trail. This trail provides a very doable climb for most on the way up and is an awesome trail to speed down.
