The small knoll on the horizon separates Cibola
Pass Trail which will go to the left (North) of the knoll and Jordan
Trail which will go to the right (South) of the knoll. Cibola
Pass Trail branches off Jordan Trail at the base of the knoll.

A small unmarked side trail (as of 5/26/2009) is
seen just before the trail ends. Presumably, this leads North
to the Brins Mesa parking lot.
|
|
|
At the Old Brins Mesa parking lot
the trail has a junction with the West Park Ridge Drive. There is a
final portion of the Jordan Trail which follows the
road up (North) for approximately 0.4 miles to the new Brins Mesa parking lot.
