One of the three trails out of the complex. Don't let the exit at the top fool you; it's very rough at the bottom. Part of the way up, look for the boat wreck on the side of the trail. Poor guy tried to retrieve his boat from the lake at the bottom.

Toughest gulch in the park- windshields need not apply. Deceptively easy at the start and finish, so you might want to scope it out first, or just send it.
