Description

The trail begins at a pullout off of Bogus Basin Road. The trail only sees low usage, so beware of down trees, especially early in the season. The trail is often used as a shortcut down to Eastside Trail and is very steep in some sections.

There is a small climb about halfway down up the ridge line before the final descent onto the Eastside Trail. The final descent is down a ridge line and there are a number of steep drops near some of the curves some make sure you stay on the trail.

Overall, a very scenic trail tucked in the trees.
