double track that takes you to a nice view of the giant peace sign painted on the side of a cliff face. the doubletrack is lined with rocks like an old brick road. makes climbing a bit of a challenge.

Trees have been cleared. not sure if the one over the path needs to be removed. If so, I'll leave that to someone more experienced with a chainsaw.
