Trail Overview

Difficulty

Easy

History

The original trail navigated up the old creek bed and had some challenging and technical rock features that had to be navigated. Roughly around 2008 the forest service rerouted the trail to prevent erosion in the creek bed, creating a more user friendly trail system.
