This trail is the easier direction to climb the Springbrook Loop. The trail hugs the hillside and is also a flowy descent. Half way through it flattens out on the top of the mesa and has great views of the Flatirons. Then it climbs again through the trees to the high point of the loop.

Access Info

Dogs are allowed on Springbrook North but not Springbrook South.
