• After crossing the road, the trail winds its way through a mixture of large pine and spruce trees with sections of open meadows with great wildflowers in the spring and summer.  It descends, paralleling the Phillips Pass Trail above which is designated for horse and hike. 
• The trail continues to descend through mixture of aspen and pine forest until reaching a junction for Phillips Canyon Trail.  There are several small log bridges over the creek crossings on this trail.
