From the Greenway parking area, follow Green Trail past Bear, Old and Swampy to the pit-house junction. Turn left, then left onto Blue Spruce toward Sawmill. On Sawmill, pass both Climbing Wall approaches and Carters Cut; just beyond a footbridge, an old steam engine marks the Backside turn on the opposite side. Follow Backside past Survey Line. At the next two three-way junctions take the right branch, reaching Tyner Finder. Take the following left, then right at Sundown, then left and left again to return to the parking area. Junction signs vary; these source directions are not a newly surveyed track.
