Trail Overview

This route splits off of Black Pine Canyon. It is a decent climb to start out if running north to south, then after that it just winds through the cedar trees and you will likely see flowers and wildlife if there in the springtime. It then meets back up with Black Pine Canyon at the southernmost point of the trailhead.
