Description

This trail is accessed either from the Quartz Trail or the Gateway Loop Trail and connects the two.

About a mile down the Gateway Loop Trail's southern half, and about a mile south of the saddle, turn south and follow the well appointed signage. Continue through the open bajada and then down a dry, shady wash.

This trail is a mile and a half long and follows the fence line at the western edge of the park.
