Description
It's easy to make a wrong turn and end up on a side trail that likely leads to one of the Pine Creek tributaries. If you feel like the hike is somewhat treacherous, then you've strayed off the main route. Keep the Mobile App handy to stay on the route, linking the Rim Trail with the Turkey Path that descends into a creek drainage which bends east toward Pine Creek.
