These loose unstable talus slopes and cliffs are very dangerous and great care should be taken when hiking on the unstable slopes and escarpments.

From the parking area, this trail meanders south through ancient bristlecone pine atop a massive limestone cliff. While the views are great from the this trail, be sure to take it to the end to see Powell Point!
