The trail is obvious to follow down to Mile Marker 54.10. Camp Glenwood (Glenwood Dad’s Club Organization Camp) is on the trail.
Head right (if coming up from mile marker 54.10) at Camp Glenwood. Coming down from the gate obviously requires a left turn at the camp.
The wider road will continue for a while past the camp. Go right when a smaller trail appears.
View of junction of road and smaller trail as seen coming down from the gate. No choice of what to do if coming from the other direction.
There is one crossing of a use trail between the above junction and mile marker 54.10. Signs are posted to make it clear which way to go.
Use trail crossing as seen coming down from the gate.
