Runner Notes

Very steep in places. Watch for roots, rocks, and loose bits. The odd tree is down up here but volunteers are pretty good at maintaining this part of the trail.

Description

This is the back side of the Grant Hill Aquifer trail network. It is very challenging as it features switchbacks, areas so steep that steps were cut into the hill to provide stairs, and a steep drop off on one side of the trail. It's definitely not for beginners, but once you are able to run this trail you definitely will feel a sense of accomplishment. Watch for loose sections, rocks, and roots.

Flora & Fauna

West Coast rainforest type vegetation.

The first bunch of stairs cut into the side of the mountain.

A nice bench just before the trail gets nasty!!

Again hard to tell but this drops off about 100 feet.  A lot of the trail in this area runs right on the edge.

Steps cut into the trail by some volunteers. Hard to tell but it gets really steep here.

The entrance to the back side of the mountain. Easy to miss (took me a few tries to find it).

Another view of the steep drop off. The trail comes very close to the edge here.
