About This Trail

Imported description

The route is nice because it combines several trails. There is no parking on the road side, so you have to cross over the road to get to the trail intersection. If you are looking for a place that is quiet then this is the place for you. The second third of the loop doesn't have water sources after the bridge and so check your water if you need it.
