Bergschrund Trail drops south-east off Glacier Way, heading down to Powerline Trail. Further down is the Freeway I-80, but not really a good way to cross except further west at Donner Pass, or east at Dinner to get down to Donner Lake

Bergschrund Trail Junction, where Bergschrund Trail descends southeast from Glacier Way to Powerline Trail. Further down lies Freeway I-80, which may make the ride not-so-peaceful the closer you get.
