Proposed trail along upper Flagstaff

This trail was proposed and then pulled back because OSMP's mapping showed that its possible influence extended substantially into Highly Suitable Habitat (HSH). Some consider that a slightly steeper tread for the trail would have much less impact.

The map below shows my track. Click on it to see a larger view. Near the lower end of the track there is an old trail that heads slightly downhill to the West.

Traces of an old road or trail are apparent along much of the lower part.

There are some nice views through the trees

More old track

The trail would pass by Lost Gulch overlook

Social trail above Cathedral park

Further up there is a spring. If the trail goes between it and the road it would traverse this slope.

Above the spring the trail would head West and cross the drainage to this view

Turning SW to follow the ridge, an old trail with switchbacks appears

The track intersects the road  near the crest
