Description

Heading north, the trail descends through sparsely treed hillside. There are plenty of rocks, but the ground is firm and should give confidence in your footing. Hit a few switch backs with views of the valley to your east. If completing the Pine Valley Loop, it's desirable to make this the final descent as it feels quite steep if starting out on this trail heading south.

A nice trail all-in-all. Honestly, pretty average, but one of the best parts; it was July 3rd and nobody was up here. Recommended.
