Dogs AllowedYes
This is the main and most well used trail in this area. This doubletrack trail climbs up from River Road and descends into the Wolfe Creek Waste Disposal Site (Aka The Dump). This direction is recommended, as climbing up from the dump to the top of the mountain is extremely challenging with lots of loose rock combined with steep grades in sections. Several portions of the trail contain loose rock and roots.
