This trail is actually pretty well trodden at the beginning, but gets to be more and more difficult as you get closer to the Mount Raymond Peak Trail. The official trail ends part way up the slope, but the trail continues all the way to the saddle where you can connect to Mount Raymond summit and get to the top and come back, or create a loop.
