Secret Short-cut

This 0.1-mile connector lives up to its name—brief enough that most hikers cover it in under five minutes. The short distance suggests it likely links two longer trails or provides quick access between a trailhead and a main route. Check local trail maps or signage to confirm where it starts and ends, as connectors this short can be easy to miss.
