Runner Notes

It may be too steep to run, but you can try.

Description

This trail is STEEP and can be quite slippery if it's wet or newly fallen oak leaves are on the ground. From Thalweg Trail or Wolfden Flats Trail, just head uphill and after a short, calf-burning 0.3 miles you'll meet up with the Rock Payne Trail.
