Description
Main circuit of trail is realatively flat with gradual climbs in elevation. ther is a large out crop of boulders called Wolf Rocks. This area of the trail is heavily used by teenagers and was in desperate need of cleaning to remove litter that has been left behind. In the spring the trail is very wet with many springs and streams leading to marshy areas. On parts of the trail there is well preserved evidence of the former railroad grades over the swamp areas. The trail then crosses Clear Shade Creek by a narrow suspension bridge in to the Clear Shade wilderness area. It then passes through a former logging camp.
