Another nice doubletrack trail that gives you deep access into the park with some good views along the way.

Description
This trail starts from the main parking area and ascends quickly before intersecting with Raven Rock Trail and then Turkey Ridge Trail. It continues past those before intersecting Upper CCC Trail and ending. There are a couple of good views looking east out towards the Piedmont along this trail and a secret waterfall can be found off the trail, but the approach to it is dangerous and not recommended.
