Description

This trail starts right at the trailhead parking off Schnebly Hill Rd. The trail is fairly loose and rocky right out of the gate, and it crosses the road back and forth a few times before you feel like you're really hiking the trail.

After the initial loose section, the trail smoothes out a bit, meandering along slightly downhill for a bit. It starts to cross in and out of the creek bed and at times runs right along the creek bed on a red rock surface for 100 yards at a time. These creek bed sections are very pretty and a great place tp stop for a snack.

The trail has some short rocky ascents and descents to keep things interesting. It ends at another smaller trailhead, where it meets up with Cow Pies Trail across the road from the parking lot.
