      How do you get the the start of the trail? Went down the short dirt road towards the trail but you come to a locked gate with no trespassing signs. The gate is for the house below the waterfall. I didn't see anyway to get to the trail.

      Its really not that bad, but at ~10,000 feet the steepish sand starts to really wear you down. Views are A+++++ though.

      A grind of a climb nothing crazy technical just steep, sandy and loose at times. You park on the side of the road infront of the house with the waterfall coming off the rock. You can get past the house gate to the right. Once you start out on the climb there are these annoying rock water bars, seems like a hiker trying to be annoying. Its a bit sandy in sections and hard to maintain traction. Trail winds its way up and towards the top it gets fairy steep and loose and most likely will be a hike a bike for most. The views are rad. Rode up this trail to connect to Coyote and drop down the Druids trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
