    Default Dragon's Tooth trail-NoBo

    Am I the only person who has missed the trail after the Boulder scramble going NoBo? There's a quick left after the nearly verticle Boulder section. If you look down the valley there is clearly a path of disturbed soil/rustled leaves, it initially looks like a "path" minus the blazes.

    Don't recall that one, but it was pretty crowded when I was up there so maybe the trail was full of people helped send me the right way. But on Sinking Creek Mtn (a but south of DT), there was a use trail that went left where the real trail went right through a tiny gap in the rocks. Based on the amount of wear on that false trail, a lot of people must make that same mistake (including me twice).

    I definitely missed it and took my own trail down, was rushed by some bad weather coming in on us, we're not the only ones who missed it

    I can see how this would happen.

    So if I'm understanding you correctly you took that gully/valley down? Did you have to turn around and climb back up or did you just keep working your way to the road?
