Description
Leave the horse stables parking lot and head back West up the road a thousand feet. Turn left onto the trail and take it south until it meets the creek. Follow the creek for about half a mile and then turn around and come back parallel to the trail a little higher up the hill. The trail passes an historic mill site, though there's not much to see any more.
