Description

This is a relatively new trail that can be followed from the bottom of the Fence Line Trail up to the Service Corrals or from the Service Corrals down. Either way is fun and a good alternative to the more difficult and more technical lower Fence Line Trail. A small spring creates a pond that is filled with water year round accentuates this trail, hence its name.
