Some sections are pretty steep, some are loose, some are both.<br><br>Once you get to the top of the ridge, continue onto the Big Boulder Trail. You'll begin a well-earned descent here. The trail is mostly smooth though a little rugged in places and it weaves through exposed sections and the woods. <br><br>This trail ends at the intersection with Third Divide Trail.
