Access Info

Begins on the left near the end of Walter Taitt Trail and connects just past Hunter’s Roost with Power Line. From Taitt Trail you will pass connector to Caretaker Trail on your left in ½ mile. This portion of Caretaker will take you back to Four Corners. In another 1/10th mile Hunter’s Roost will fade off to the right over some big roots. In another 1/10th mile it intersects with Power Line. Fun in either direction.
