I found this trail hard to follow as dry leaves covered the path and I went long (FOR ME) periods of time without seeing a blaze marker. The leaves were very slippery and footing was a problem today. I normally would have reached the peak in my allotted time, but decided to return the way I came. I lost the trail completely on the way back, so had to bushwhack the last 150 yards or so. Nice views from the ridge though so not a total waste.
Park at the Camp Bell parking lot. Walk across the bridge and take the left fork and follow signs to Logging Camp. Red trail is marked with a sign but the orange trail is not. Look for faded orange blazes after you pass the red trail. |
