Runner Notes

A route that drops off on the south side with a direct, no-nonsense descent to the Bird Sanctuary Trail.

Description

For its short length, this trail is not to be messed with. It provides a great route from the top of Mount Hollywood as it dives steeply down the southern slopes with grades in the mid-20% range. Take caution on the trail as it can be loose and dusty.

Alternate routes down can be found, one of which is on the eastern slope of Mount Hollywood on the Lower Mount Hollywood Trail, which starts at Dante's View off of the East Ridge (Hogback) Trail.
