About This Trail

Imported description

Clarifying: No charge or pass is required, but spaces are limited. The trail doesn't go much higher for most of the time, but it picks up toward the end for 499ft at the end of a quarter mile. A trail can be hard to follow at times due to loose rocks. The way is marked by cairns, so keep an eye on them. The cave at the end of the trail has shade in it.
