Ridge Cutoff Trail (#437)
Climb 2.9 miles up Nick Eaton Ridge Trail #447 from the Herman Creek Trail/Nick Eaton Trail junction to meet the short Ridge Cuttoff Trail #437. From here Trail #437 heads northeast for about 0.8 miles to join Gorton Creek Trail #408. This short trail provides a loop option and also takes a short, steep descent to Indian Point.
Warning: this primitive wilderness trail was in a high-severity patch of the Eagle Creek Fire, and regrowth has caused it to be extremely brushy, with occasionally indiscernible tread.
