At the next junction with the Protector Trail, stay right for 0.1 mile. Here you will reach yet another junction. Stay right here as well and the trail will cross over Tibbett’s creek before arriving at the final junction with the Cougar Pass Trail. Stay left here and 0.2 mile later you’ll arrive at the Clay Pit Road, the official end of this trail.
