Description

Leaving Sherman Pass Road, the trail descends somewhat steeply towards a little tree oasis at the bottom of the valley. You pass by an abandoned coral and reach a dirt road that you follow very briefly through the little oasis. Descend a bit further and cross Brush Creek.

The trail continues for another 7 miles south.
