Midgley Bridge Vista and the Huckaby Trail Northern Trailhead (Blue).  The trail extends on the other side of Oak Creek (Purple).    The trail outline will disappear every 5 seconds.

Between the two trails there is not a well defined path.  In addition, Oak Creek will have to be forged since these is no bridge.
