Located in Buffalo Mountain Park, this is a new connector trail between the end of Hartsell Hollow and Tower Ridge trails.

Route Description
The trail is new as of 2016 and is pink blazed. Climbs very steeply up from Hartsell Hollow. The blazes are numerous thus the trail is easy to follow.

| 0.1 miles | Trail leaves creek and steeply switchbacks up the ridge | 2,687 feet |
