Description
Follow a creek past ponds, through meadows and grasslands, small stands of aspen, and finally through nice, green forest. This area is not burned and is a little cooler than other trails to the south. Unlike the Upper Oregon Gulch (Edge of the World) Trail, this is smooth, never very steep, and nontechnical. Fun!
