Description
This trail has two entry points. The one listed as the start is off of a dirt road. Moving from here, the trail switchbacks and then proceeds on a fairly level course, dipping and rising with the terrain. The trail pops out at another dirt road. This trail has lots of tree coverage, and from it you can connect to Moon and Powerline Trails.
