Description

Park at Kitsuma/Youngs Ridge Trail #204. Run back to Old Hwy 70 and continue down to Moore Cir. Turn right. Take your first left and then stay left onto Memorial Drive. You'll stay left towards the end of the road. The gate to the cemetery is easy to miss. There is a fence, run through to your right of the gate. Rattlesnake Trail starts directly across the field. Going left from the gate is slightly shorter
