This trail continues on from where the North Lost Lake Trail ends at checkpoint Foxtrot. Pretty early on, it passes beneath sharp towering sandstone walls. Often in deep shade, this section's tranquil and the going is easy along doubletrack. Ahead, Lost Lake can be glimpsed, quickly hidden by trees and embankments.<br><br>As that trail heads to the intersection with the Rock Trail (pedestrians only), the trail begins to narrow to an easily manageable singletrack. From there, the going is steadily steeper and kind of a grind to the high point at Checkpoint Juliet, where the trail begins to circle back around. It's time for some spurts of descending, followed by short climbs. <br><br>Along the final smooth descent, the trail is crossed by Double Down before it concludes in a small clearing on the Fragrance Lake Road.
