      Started from the girls camp going up to junction with Calkens Hollow. Difficult to follow at times because it’s faint. Lots of dead fall to traverse. Views to South and West are spectacular.

      I rode this trail to shorten my ride on Calkens Hollow. Be prepared to do some bushwacking as it can be difficult to find at times. It begins along a fence, with amazing views of Mount Nebo and the valley below. I went down the trail. I imagine going up it would be fairly difficult as the dirt can be very loose at times. It finishes in the middle of the girls camp, Koholowo. As you get closer to the campground the trail becomes easier to follow.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
