Description
This short and fun section starts right at the trailhead and is the first singletrack segment on all of the hike on the Contrabando trail section. It's usually done as the final leg of all hikes as well. There is one steep creek crossing. There is an option to hike the dirt road and skip the singletrack for folks interested in a less rugged out and back hike on the jeep trail.
