Trail Overview
Trail W21 is a long, scenic, and easy 5.2-mile route through lush forest in the Warrior Trail System. From the south, it begins as a wide shelf trail with flat embedded slickrock surfaces that do not increase difficulty. The trail winds alongside mossy rock walls and through gradual corners, including a few large switchbacks that descend to the forest floor. This lower section is moist and jungle-like, running alongside a stream with likely puddles and wet conditions, and is unique compared to the many higher elevation trails in the system. The trail then climbs steadily back up the mountainside on a smooth, shelf-like path with some scattered rock, ending at its northern junction with Trail W31.
Difficulty
This is an easy SxS route with shelfy and narrow sections, gradual switchbacks, and rocky sections, but is still ideal for most skill levels.
