Finally on your left is a marked trail to Bayden Powell trail Skyline Trail. Then pass through another black gate. Keep going up this wide road ignoring the side trails on the way up. Now follow BP (Bayden Powell) trail. As you go into the forest, a cross over trail greets

Just a little more elevation… Sign post continue on right BP trail. Carry on past some cabins and to First Lake. Girl Guide info from 1925 line the bridge of memories past. Go left after bridge and carry on along the BP trail. Walk past Boy Scouts cabin. Carry on past the arrow sign and keep going down. Once at the rocky path go left. Go
right down road and keep going. A trail appears on the left.
Your final descent down is a steep slippery rocky rooty bike trail back to the start of the trail. Be careful here as it’s easy to loose your footing and slip. Also watch for mountain bikers. Happy & safe trails.
