A circuit route of mixed forests, ridgelines, vistas, and wildflowers overlooking Falkland.
The trail starts on the left (north) side of the maintenance road, climbing steeply up through the forest to emerge on the open ridgeline, climbs eastward toward the obvious summit of Tuktakamin with its array of radio towers, then loops down a roughly flagged trail found by exploring the western slope below the radio towers. It drops through the trees steeply and meets the maintenance road then continues a short walk further down the road on the left where it climbs another ridge before dropping steeply back into the forest. Watch for occasional blaze markers. The trail emerges onto the maintenance road just below (west) of the starting point. A short walk back up the road returns you to your vehicle.
