The footpath alternates between sections that are both rocky and rough, and calmer sections that are sandy and smooth. The climb reaches a steady 300 feet of elevation gain along an old road toward the park boundary.
The trail continues outside of the park for another 0.2 miles until the trail ends at the park boundary, which is only a hundred yards or so from a residential street in the Top Of The World Community, accessible from the Foothills Parkway.
