      It's another rocky trail, switchbacks aren't too bad, nothing too exciting. One note: on the south side of the hwy, there is no obvious trail. Head down/up on the west side of the cement feature:
      - if heading north, you'll see the gate to continue through after crossing the highway
      - if headed south, after dropping into the wash, continue 50 yards further south in the wash to hit the trail with signage/map

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
