Formerly Scott's Loop, this is a mellow trail around the big flat in the backside of valley falls. This is a much more enjoyable climb than staying on Rhododendron. There's a few small short rock gardens that can be tricky if wet, and few awkward switchbacks. After you cross the ridge, theres on more tech rock garden then is up and down back to Dogwood. Trail comes off of rhododendron right above
rocky trail and connects back into dogwood.
