Description
Start out by taking a right off the Remington Access Road and head down to the corner and turn left. Enjoy some doubletrack with very gentle grade for a mile or so, and then cross over a couple of bridges and enjoy the view of the creek. Work your way up the grade to the switchback that leads you back left. The trail starts to turn into some dirt singletrack at this point. Enjoy the meandering trail as it makes way across the side of the mountain. About halfway across the mountain, the trail starts descending.
