About This Trail

Imported description
The beginning of the trail should not fool you into thinking it will be easy. The trail surface gets a lot better once you get past the rocky section. At one time someone built some bridges and set a few fires on this trail, but now it does not appear to be maintained. The tornado that passed through the middle of the area caused the trails to end abruptly. It makes the trails difficult to follow.
