This connector runs from Black Bear trail to Little Bear(first right when descending), Bobcat(second right, extremely tight turn with tree close to outside), and Turkey(straight through then bear right). If you pass Turkey it will put you on the middle ridge on the power lines. Careful with your speed the first time descending this trail. It gets extremely tight at the splits. Climbing it is not bad, but has some steep spots. Hikers also frequent the trail.

Access Info

From Black Bear trail you will see a wooden post about 4 feet tall at the top end of this connector. At the bottom when climbing, just stay take a left from Turkey, Bobcat, and Little Bear. Then stay right.
