Description
This challenging trail descends steeply from just north of Cedar Breaks National Monument along Rattlesnake Creek. It provides access into spectacular Ashdown Gorge in the Ashdown Gorge Wilderness and into the lower reaches of Cedar Breaks. The trail is not always well-marked so good map reading skills are helpful. You will have to wade through some water in Ashdown Gorge and it is subject to flash floods.
