Thumbnails to Show You the Way
- Start on M1 (maintenance road 1) at the yellow gate. Walk around the gate and follow M1.
- Cross a small bridge and the creek will now be on your left as you follow the maintenance road.
- Up ahead, M4 should be on your right. Turn right here and follow M4 up the hill until you reach another yellow gate.
- At the yellow gate, look for Trail 1 or the red rectangle trail on your left. Follow it down the hill away from the road and cross the wooden bridge over the creek.
- Continue following Trail 1/red rectangles as it weaves up the hill. Once it levels out, turn left at the T intersection with Trail 1a and continue following the red rectangles.
- You will eventually come to a T intersection at M3 with a gate. The post can be found here.
- To return to the parking area, turn left on M3 and follow it down the hill to M1. Turn left here and follow M1 all the way back to the parking area.
