Description
This short trail climbs from the Miller Fork Trail #997 to reach the Donner Pass Trail #926 - Glen Haven Segment. There is one creek crossing near the beginning of this trail that might make you work. After that, the trail climbs steadily up and along the side of a ridge, affording commanding views of the valley below and the mountains beyond. The terrain has some rocks in places, but overall things are smooth.
