This single track trail connects the upper end of the Pioneer Creek Trail with Trail 71205. They connect at the cabin remains in the meadow. There may be numerous downfall trees across the trail because of all the dead lodgepole pine trees in the area. You can expect some hike a bike on steeper segments depending on which direction you are headed.
