A short trail does not always amount to a quick one. You may just about be able to see the end of Independence Trail from the beginning, but there's nothing quick about this climb and haul. The trail is home to "Bunker Hill," which is actually a two-obstacle obstacle. It begins at a granite "waterfall," which is a very tricky descent and an ascent that can easily spill your vehicle when you come back down the trail. The second part of Bunker Hill involves rocks - huge rocks. Drive careful.
