Description
The trail crosses the Steptoe Creek a few times on well-maintained bridges. The trail surface is mostly firm dirt with a few sections narrowed by vegetation. The trails has a few short rollers and some short sections with dropoffs, but they are easily managed by taking it a little slower. This can easily be combined with the Twisted Pines Trail for a longer hike. There are several points of access to the nearby road.
