Lots of tight corners and switchbacks making it for a more challenging descent and climb than the Upchuck route.

Access Info

Accessed off of Disorderly Conduct and Tiny Tots for a descent down to Upchuck. For climbing, peel off of Upchuck after crossing the gully.

      		 Trail is great, some recent forest management maintenance left some debris (larger cut branches, sticks) and ruts from tracked equipment.
