Start from the trailhead at the south side of the parking lot and follow the <br />
trail for a little over a mile (1.14 miles on my GPS). Take a left at the fork <br />
where Tablezon Canyon Trail (05629) starts. Go another .75 miles to the <br />
end of the trail. From here you can turn around and head back to the <br />
parking lot or take either Gear Grinder (05630) or Pinoyon Trail (05607). <br />
There is another path that heads east from the end of the trail but it is not <br />
on any map.<br />
<br />
A map of this trail system can be picked up for free at the Forest Ranger <br />
station on South 14 or can be dowloaded at: <br />
