Description
This trail starts off the Meadow Trail and weaves its way up to the Bellows Pipe Connector. The trail continues to weave its way up the dragon's spine (the old ski lift towers) to a small turnaround area. The trail traverses over a rocky outcrop, then arrives at an old road. It follows the old road to the left and arrives at the mouth of the dragon. From here, the trail turns right and ends at the Bellows Pipe Trail.
