The trail parallels the entrance road for a short distance before splitting off on it's own.

Shortly after leaving the trail head, you will notice the "Cable Trail" going off to the left from near the road. Cable trail is a rugged and steep trail that involves some climbing. The Cable Trail is NOT recommended for kids.
