A very popular trail used typically for climbing, very busy with uphill traffic. Often called "slide-winder" or "sand-winder" due to the loose sandy surface in the summer, in the fall and spring this trail is excellent.

      		 Mud at the start of the trail, so make sure to come early when it is frozen.
