A direct but unmarked route through the forest, this path is reported to offer expedited access toward the Santanoni peaks for those willing to navigate without blazes. The trail's modest length—just over two kilometers—concentrates the approach, making it a swift if demanding passage for experienced hikers comfortable with map and compass work. Its lack of markers suggests a more self-reliant wilderness experience, one that rewards careful attention to terrain and topography.
