Description
Starting at the far end of Starr Hills Ave in Southern Highlands, the trail runs along a ridgeline leading up to a set of radio towers that are visible from I-15 when leaving town towards California. The trails are pretty well built and very easy to follow, with only a couple of short detours that ultimately lead back to the main trail. Once at the top of the hill, it is easy to continue up the dirt road to the towers at the top of the ridge.
