Description

This trail starts at the radio antenna and heads east for about a tenth of a mile and parallels the Green Mountain Trail but on singletrack rather than doubletrack dirt road. There is a nice loop north of the summit.

You'll need to use other trails to get to the antenna tower, in order to begin this trail, and use other trails to descend down from this trail's terminus.

Flora & Fauna

Plenty of prairie grasses and forbs. Rattlesnakes have been spotted on and off of this trail as well as deer from time to time.
