Trail Overview

This trail is short but worth your time to travel down. While not as difficult as the trail leading up to the turn, it is still a little sandy with a couple of small, rockier sections as you travel across the bowl. As you travel across the bowl, you start climbing until you reach the end of the trail, where there is a small campsite/turnaround at the base of a steep cliffside made of smooth and wavy rock. From spots throughout the trail, you can also look up onto a nearby hillside and see the structure that is left on top of the hill. This trail is accessible year-round but may be impassable due to periods of snow that can obstruct the trail.

Difficulty

The hardest part is the small sections of deeper sand that you may get hung up on.
