This multi-use trail offers a shorter, and somewhat higher, approach to the Bolt Mountain Trail and Bolt Mountain. It starts at a parking pull-out on Stringer Gap Road and follows an old, faded road prism for much of its length. At 0.9 miles from the parking area, stay hard right (north). At 1.7 miles, descend left (south) off the doubletrack on to a singletrack trail. Don't climb the steep, rocky motorcycle track to the right. At 2.0 miles from the parking area, reach the end of the trail at its junction with the Bolt Mountain Trail.
