Trail Description

This short spur trail forks off the Indian Creek Trail heading north in the direction of a large rock cliff. The trail closely follows and occasionally crosses a small creek as it passes beneath the blackened stumps of trees killed in the Horseshoe 2 fire of 2011. A large rock shelter cave lies at the end of the trail.
