This 2-way trail begins off of the access road not far from the bottom of No Service. Look for it on your right.
The trail begins with many switchbacks, making short work out of grunty climb. The climb eases and then makes its way back to connect with the Raging Ridge trail near the Communication Tower. West section of the Raging River lollipop.

Raging River is a multi-use trail for Mountain Bikers & Hikers only. NO HORSES NO DIRT BIKES!
