A very flowy and mossy, handbuilt trail that starts up near the Mt. Scio Lookout

Access Info

You may access the trail from the tower access path or from the concourse path. The trail starts directly off the gravel path on the right side, this is a very tight initial section. The trail then veers left after the clearing. It does eventually cross an access path to the powerline trail so be cautions and courteous of pedestrians.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Super fun trail. Somebody has a tent set up in there and trash strewn all over the place, screamed at me when I went past, so watch out.
