Depending on your approach, you may have to follow some switchbacks, but all the trails in this OSP are great, so you can't go wrong by following the trails.

1/2006: The 2nd new trail in this OSP is now open too. It is the very short connector trail that links the new parking lot to the Cordilleras Trail.
