The first section of this trail, SSW Loop, is littered with roots so it's a great one to practice / improve your de-weighting skills. Once you make your way around the loop, you will traverse a quick rooty downhill and things become a bit easier with occasional roots and a log over. Toward the end of the trail you'll head uphill, traversing a few switchbacks. This trail ends at the intersection with VHT, at the top of the hill.
