Connection between Falls Rd, Spiral Arch Bridge, and Hostel. From Falls Rd to Spiral Arch, trail is steep, rooty and technical. From Hostel to Spiral Arch Bridge, trail is very mellow and beginner friendly. Easier option to get to Spiral Arch Bridge/Old Trolley line than hostel drop and better for beginners.
