**Description: “ The trail starts out on a flat course before gaining elevation and becoming somewhat wet. This route can be wet during the rainy season as it climbs to a height of land. From the top of the pass, the trail descends along a steady course to the shore of Copper Kiln Pond.” Due to beaver activity the trail might be flooded; “be prepared. The trail then follows along the shore to the lean-to and camping area.”**
