This will complete mile 3. You are going to follow this trail until you come to a newly blazed trail. This is the continuation of the Orange trail. Take the left up the hill. Stay on the orange trail. when climbing hill the trail fades to the right, I believe this is a white diamond keep to the left. Follow orange diamond the left side past a Rock and continue on . When trail starts to go back downhill you will want to continue straight to pass over a mound of crushed Blue stone and gravel. Follow the orange markers beyond this. You will cross over another bit of crushed gravel and sand built up over some drainage laid in the trail.
