Ewok is by far the preferred trail to return to the main Rattlesnake trail head. It's a super fun, fast, and flowy trail when descending, but WATCH OUT there are a lot of other trail users due to its close proximity to the trail head. It is courtesy to take the road if you are climbing from the parking lot, although this trail is legally bi-directional.
