Trailhead is just below the Deer Creek reservoir dam. Look for opening on north side of road shoulder. Follow dirt road to small camping area just past creek. Trail goes north to Cascade Springs.
Crosses creek twice.
Follow Dan's route to Cascade Springs. Then follow Eric's loop route back to the dam. The climb to the overlook of Midway is not too hard, but the rest of the climb gets tough. The ruts get bigger and since it had just rained, everything was pretty loose. The initial descents are filled with loose rocks which can eat you up if you go too slow.
