A two directional trail built by Jim Harvey (who got in trouble by "the man" for building it).
For those fit, the trail is often used as a climb to Cheshire Cat. The sub 20 minute goal from bridge to campsite is the Strava goal for many.

Otherwise, it can be descended, and is a moderately hard trail (think dark blue).
