Short but fun trail just above the Sam Braxton. Steep and loose, worth going up a bit higher before you go down Sam Braxton.

Access Info

From the start of the Sam Braxton trail, instead go left up the road that continues up Deer Creek. Turn left at the junction and follow the road a short distance to the start.

      		 Overgrown vegetation. Tough to make out the trail with overgrowth.
