This trail follows a gentle grade through open forest, some of which is an old burn scar. Huckleberry bushes can be found along the trail, along with a couple of peekaboo views of a grassy meadow and Mount Adams.
The first mile of the trail follows a wide dirt path (a former road bed) up a gentle grade through open forest. Eventually, the trail narrows and goes along the hillside of Crofton Ridge. Roughly 1.5 miles in there is a view down to a large pond and meadow, and Stagman Ridge beyond. At around 2 miles, the trail steepens, rising to a local high point (not the ridge crest) at 3 miles. On clear days, watch for a glimpse of the shoulder of Mount Adams along this stretch.
The trail historically continues past this high point but is not maintained, and quickly disappears after descending the ridge.
