Etherington equestrian campground

Follow West on the Etherington - Baril Ridge Route

Reaching a meadow with beautiful views of the mountains to the west you'll find a Y intersection where youll head south towards the connector. Follow this trail until you reach a wagon trail and there is a sign for Fording Pass, Head straight west. Youll pass by a small camp run by Anchor D, pass by a small lake (no fishing, too shallow) it would seem the trail goes on forever with nothing to come but then youll start to climb some decent elevation and hit the top of the pass.
