Access to Sunset Wall Climbing area. While the trail is relatively flat, there are plenty of obstacles in the form of larger rocks and fallen trees. The novelty of this trail is in the series of large boulders used by rock climbers, which you pass along the majority of this short trail. Mountain biking not recommended (probably would be mostly hike-a-bike). Shown on the official park map as "unofficial/unsigned."

Access Info

This trail can be accessed at the large parking lot in the southeastern corner of the park.

 Definitely not a trail I'd consider rideable. I had to backpack my bike the 90% of the trail, That trail has to be for hiking.
