This route is a loop in the higher elevations of the Blueberry Hill Trails network. It begins at the junction with Bronson and Lower Ridge, with a hill climb on the upper end of Bronson Way to the junction with Upper Ridge Trail. Continue on Bronson Way another 100 yards until an orange ribbon is visible in the woods to the right. This flag indicates the second turn on Joel's Trail, and one can enter here and begin the climb to the summit of Joel’s. Enjoy the spectacular views, and then ride Joel’s all the way back to the bottom and take a left on Cabin Trail. After you pass the cabin, look for the trail to the right, marked by a small cairn. This is a fast steep, technical descent. It ends quickly on the Wreath Trail, turn right and follow this back to your starting point.
