Trail Description: (counter-clockwise) Merlin View is best accessed by taking Braggin' Rights 3.4 km from trailhead #3 to the Merlin View entrance. From the trailhead climb through linked flowing corners and up onto the open meadow. Continue through the open meadow and stop at the Flinstones Lounge to catch your breath, before entering the "Shwarzwald" (black forest). The trail winds through the tight forest past several viewpoints and across some really cool rock features. The south end offers excellent views of Moose Meadows and the valley to the south. After reaching the southern tip, the trail turns north and climbs a short distance back to the trailhead.
