This old pioneer trail, which was built prior to 1909, starts high in the ponderosa pine, firs, and bracken fern. It originates at the Crook Trail, crosses the Hole-in-Ground gravel pit road and drops off of the Rim.
Be watchful for a lag tree along the way, a tree that was once used as a fire lookout before lookout towers were built.
Due to the steepness of this trail, be sure to wear sturdy shoes and carry plenty of water.
