Ferguson Mtn Trail (Yellow)

This short yellow-marked trail covers just under half a mile, making it one of the briefer designated routes in the region. Its name suggests a ledge formation shaped like a horseshoe, though without additional context about its location or network, specifics remain limited. At 0.4 miles, it's a quick out-and-back or connector—likely completed in well under an hour by most hikers.
