The Turn Down Into Glen Leigh

The story

The signed junction at the end of the Highland Trail: a hard right, downhill, into the steep eastern canyon.

Here's your next turn, and it's the big one. In a moment the Highland Trail runs into the Falls Trail at a signed junction. Turn hard right there, heading south and downhill, and follow the sound of the water into Glen Leigh. Don't carry on toward the Beach Lots. That's the way to the lake. Right turn, downhill, toward the falls.
