Beginning at Reserve Street, just beyond a series of duplexes and a stately white building, this brief climb to the intersection with the Dead Chief Trail offers a short cut to the Gulpha Gorge Campground. Originally built in 1926 as the beginning of the Dead Chief Trail, the name was derived from the park’s designation as a reservation in 1832.
