Thumbnails to Show You the Way

  1. Leaving the parking area, locate the trail map on your right and proceed onto the grassy path.
  2. You will cross over an arching wooden bridge and the path becomes a narrow dirt trail.
  3. The trail goes uphill gradually and then becomes steep. You will come to a fork in the trail; bear left as you are starting a figure eight shape of the trail.
  4. The path then goes downhill, and you will bear left at the second fork. Soon after there is a third fork, where you will again bear left.
  5. Continue hiking up and down hills until the path comes to a point like an upside-down V-shaped fork. Turn a sharp right at this point and hike slowly uphill to look for the post on a tree along the path on the right.
  6. You are now heading back on this figure eight path. As you head back, continue along the path, up and down hills, and you will come to three forks; bear left at each of the forks on the trail.
  7. The third fork puts you back on the trail you took at the start. You will cross the foot bridge, and the grassy path brings you back to the parking area.
