This trail is a spur off of Gull Rock trail. It leads trough berry-covered forest and offers impressive views of Resurrection Creek Valley. This trail is steep right out of the gate. Be prepared for a good mix of steep technical climbing and hike-a-bike. The trail is a popular hiking trail so please be careful when on the decent.

      This trail is not closed to bikes. The sign mentioned above was put in illegally. Remember to yield to hikers and ride in control.
