The Crags Trail

 Starting at the Crags parking lot on Forest Service Road 383, cross the road and the creek near the restrooms.  The trail switchbacks steeply up a hillside for approximately 1/2 mile.  The trail levels out as it approaches an intersection.  Take the trail to the left to the Crags.  Do not go right on the Devil's Playground Trail.  Walk through forested and grassy areas in a valley to the north of Fourmile Creek.  At approximately 2.14 miles the trail goes through a shady ravine and then heads steeply to the north up to the Crags rocks.  The trail will disappear along the sloping rock face at approximately 2.32 miles.  Walk up the sloping rock face to the top of the Crags.  Return via the same route to the trailhead.   It is a Moderate A trail.
