From the north trailhead, the trail is shared with Black Kettle Trail for about 100 yards. Take the right fork, walk through a rich forest, cross a stream and climb to more-level land. Go straight or take the right fork to access Homestead Trail which makes it a loop hike via Cook Road. If you went straight, continue past two junctions with Homestead Trail* (on right) to get to Walker Road.
