This is probably the easiest of the trails here - still an intermediate trail, but just barely. It climbs a bit on a mostly smooth trail surface with a few small rocks here and there.

Use this trail to complete a loop. At the end, you can either take a left to descend Three Gulch Trail to the trailhead, or stay straight to follow Blue Ribbon down.
