Upper Skid Trail runs through dense coastal forest on the upper slopes of Mount Gardner, following an old logging route between the summit area and lower trail junctions. The path is rooty and uneven in places, with sustained elevation change that makes it one of the more physically demanding sections of the route. Views are mostly enclosed by trees, with a few breaks where you can get a peek at the surrounding terrain beyond the forest.
