Description

This trail can be taken in either direction, but it makes for nice descent when hiking from west to east. From the west, the trail is almost all downhill. Near the end hikers will find some steep and tight switchbacks that make a fun addition to any hike. After these switchbacks, cross over the paved road and then through a tunnel under the highway, ending at a large parking lot that is available for parking after 5:00 p.m.
