Nice bi-directional connector trail that provides access from the Spinal Tap, Telegraph, and Big Red trails back to the Kiln-It trail. The trail is mostly a green trail but because of some steep hillside exposures and one technical switchback it is listed as blue. The trail has a nice flow with easy climbs and great views of the valley below.

Access Info

Access from the Kiln-It trail, the CCC road directly behind the steel water tank, or from the bottom of the Telegraph trail.
