Where the trail switches back at its southern most point there's an old logging road that continues south. If you miss the trail turn and take that road it goes down hill and then ends at a rocky overlook. Good luck getting back up the hill though to return to the trail (or bushwacked down all the way to Mountaindale Rd)
