This route descends a steep cliff face losing 720 feet in two miles. The trail begins at the end of the Golden Stairs spur of Flint Trail and ends on Standing Rocks Road approximately five miles northeast of Teapot Camp. The round trip hike on this trail is considered strenuous due to exposure and lack of water combined with elevation gain. It provides expansive views of the Fins, Ernies Country and other point south.
