Description

Look for this trail after you climb the short series of switchbacks from the parking area on Scenic Trail. Once the slight climb levels out, you'll have the option to turn left onto the Pack Rat Trail or to continue straight on the Scenic Trail. Be sure to take in the surrounding views!
