The trail travels through dense stands of grand fir on the west side of Renwyck Creek. After it crosses the creek, it starts a series of switchbacks as it ascends through several Englemann spruce bogs to the ridge between the North Fork of the Payette River and Squaw Creek. Once up out of the bottom, views of the drainage and hills to the west are impressive. The trail terminates at its junction with the West Mountain Trail.
To reach the trail, travel north from Ola approximately 10.3 miles on NF-618. Take a right on NF-653 and travel approximately 10.3 miles to its junction with NF-609. Take a right on NF-609 and travel approximately 3.1 miles. Turn left into an undeveloped recreation site just before crossing Renwyck Creek. There you will find the trailhead.
