This trail is bidirectional but better run from Rock 'n Roll Land to Ken Wood to catch both technical features. It ends at a motorcycle trail on the Ken wood side. Go left onto the motorcycle trail and right onto Ken Wood after 20 feet. Entrances are kept discreet to avoid discovery by motorcycles.

Legend has it that while building the trail, a runaway dog approached the builders. His name was Henry, and the trail name stuck.

This trail is unsanctioned.
