As the name suggests, provides access to LSD. New in 2014, a new connection to Canyon Creek was established at the third switchback on the LSD road. The connection is somewhat challenging given the terrain (a darker shade of blue) but eliminates a boggy section on the old route into Canyon Creek.
The road makkes for a long slog but, like LSD, takes you to a place you may not have been before.
