Description
This trail is best when hiking downhill as the twists and turns are great fun! This trail is a connector, so you'll have to put in some work to enjoy this. You can access it either from Bommer Ridge Road or Emerald Canyon Road. It is not a busy trail, as every time I've been on it, I'm the only person on it. So I guess don't break an ankle or get a snake bite, as you'll be there for a while waiting for help!
