This trail starts as a gentle descent into the Blakeley Trail System. A slow, rooty descent takes you to the first of many boardwalk crossings. More singletrack takes you to a hard right across a wide boardwalk followed by a hard left. At the top of the shallow climb out of General Liddells Trail, you'll find three choices: use the portable toilet, turn right to tackle the technical Squirrel's Nest Trail, or head left to Breastworks Trail.
