This trail is an excellent link up to hit Black Forest. If you are not going to drop down Black Forest, it is recommended to be an out-n-back, OR you can continue to Blazing Saddle to access Keystone, or climb Puke Hill to Crest or Pinecone.. The trails in the area are not directional, but most riders climb up Fat Lip and down Black Forest.
