Map of Track 3

Track 3 begins at the entry point and follows the Old Trail (yellow) to Bridge Spring. From the point where Track 2 meets the old trail the trail is easy to follow. After crossing an intermittant stream and rounding a sharp ridge with notable rock outcrop, the trail takes you across the face of a treacherous rock fall into a steep canyon. A seep along the trail provides a bit of greenery in season. A little north of the rockfall there is an alternate route (shown in red on the right of the map), steeper but more direct than the old trail, where the old trail has largely been lost due to downed trees.Bridge Creek lies at the bottom of the canyon and it is possible to descend from the intersection of the red and yellow lines to see the creek partly diverted into a sluice (blue line). The sluice can also be followed (with some difficulty if it is full) to Bridge Spring.
