Cool trail through the forest of Buffalo Creek with big boulders. The trail has several slick rock features with easier bypasses. Quite a bit of climbing both directions, the trail basically goes up and down the entire way.

Access Info

550 trailhead (fee parkinglot) or Kelsey campground, both along hwy 126.
