Description

This is the first trail that peels off of Shope Creek Road to the right. Cruise uphill to where you quickly pass Crested Iris Trail and Twisted Vine Trail on your left. From there, the trail slowly contours up a hill passing Fairy House Trail to your right. Keep an eye to your left as the old road peters out. Head up hill aggressively until you naturally transition to the Rock Payne Trail.
