Steep and fast with tons of rocks. This trail is a rowdy descent, a bit more difficult than Greens Greek, but ends quicker. If you are deciding between the two, go with Greens Creek trail

      Couple of trees down, otherwise most of the trail is in good shape if not a bit dusty. The entrance is the worst I've seen it a long time.
