Description

This trail is the shortest approach towards Castle Dome from the park entrance. It starts just 30 yards east of the park entrance on the north side of the main park road. Initially narrow, the trail steadily climbs up the ridge. After a quarter mile, you reach a much wider dirt road. After 200 yards, Milt Kenny Trail is on the right, but you continue making a sharp left turn following the dirt road. At the next junction, about 0.8 miles in, stay right. The dirt road ends at about 1.2 miles, but you continue north on a narrow singletrack. Cross PCT: Highway 5 to Etna Summit at 1.4 miles and follow the switchbacks that eventually lead you onto Crags Trail. No views throughout the entire trail.
