“This trail climbs close to 1,000 feet to the top of Leading Ridge.”

Description
This is a great trail. Much like most of Seneca Creek backcountry trails, it starts gradual and gets steep quickly as it approaches the ridge. As you get towards the top, the tread turns to shale and is fairly steep until you reach the meadow that is on the ridge and the intersection to Leading Ridge Trail (TR557).
I recommend descending this for a great time. The challenges to this trail are loose rocks and a steep grade towards the top half of the trail.
