A rugged unmarked route of approximately 4.65 kilometers, this path demands careful navigation and rewards those who possess the skill with quiet passage through varied terrain.

What the trail may lack in infrastructure it offers in solitude, providing an immersion into wilderness that marked routes seldom afford.
