Trail Overview

This route is a seasonal road that begins with some rough gravel and then turns into a two-track road. Starting at Telephone Road will take you into the forest and then a gentle descent into the valley. The trail can also be accessed from Taylor Valley Road. The trail crosses several small streams, runs along a pond, and then works its way down to the valley. The views of the valley are breathtaking.
