Description

This short trail was originally conceived as a short-cut, allowing visitors to reach the town of Hot Springs from the Gulpha Gorge campground. It begins from Reserve Street, leading visitors on a slightly winding path from town to the Dead Chief Trail. From there, it is a short jaunt to the campground.

Still popular today, you won't be surprised to find visitors making their way to and from town on this well maintained trail.

Flora & Fauna

Along the way, visitors will enjoy the shade provided by the surrounding forest.
