NOTE: This is not an "official" trail and it has not had the benefit of trail designers. What does that mean? Steep sections with lots of loose rock both up and down slope, very few switchbacks and a few trail sections which feel like scrambles.

This trail will afford some great views! At one point you can look north and see Pusch Ridge in the Catalinas, turn your head and see Mt Bobaquivari, turn a bit more and you will be looking into deep and dark Madera Canyon - all this from the same vantage point! A short but scenic and fun hike.
