This trail can be done as an out and back, shuttle point to point, or a loop with trail and road. Pick up the trail head on the west side of the road across from the entrance of the campground. Trial starts off with a gradual climb in open meadows and turns to moderate switchbacks in the trees for approx. 2 miles. Terrain here is smooth to slightly rocky. Near the saddle the trail turns to double track and emerges from the trees. Climb now is fairly steep (hike and bike for me) and straight up. From here, enjoy the views from the saddle between Teepee Mt. and Green Mt. Cross the meadow and pick up the decent - look for the fence and trail marker. The singletrack switchbacks on this side have more rocks and roots, so the downhill is a little rougher. Watch for deadfall and be aware of rock runoff diversions. Decend for a couple miles, emerge into a large meadow, and follow trail markers to another short decent followed by a short climb out. Trail nows leads to the Natural Bridge Park area. From here double back, or ride out and around using Hwy. 298 onto Hwy 205. If making a point to point drop a second vehicle here at the Natural Bridge parking area.
