Trail climbs up from the Fort Canyon Road trailhead parking lot, providing a connection from Fort Canyon to the saddle between it and Dry Creek Canyon. Take this trail to form a tighter loop with Corner Canyon (less paved road).

The trail itself is pretty typical smooth singeltrack that slowly winds up to the Nephs Lake connection. There are a lot of turns, but really no berms to speak of. In fact, some turns are off camber and even fall away a bit. It works well as an uphill grind to make a loop with other Corner Canyon trails, but I would generally use this for uphill, as the downhill is slow. In the spring the trail tends to get post holed by horses.

 Still some mud /snow on North facing slope. Other than about 4 or 5 short patches of snow/mud the trail was ideal.
