The northern terminus of the Ron Coleman Trail is off of the side of the highway at Smuggler's Pass. There is a huge parking area and small trailhead marking the area. There are a multitude of trailheads along this side of the highway as you work your way west.

If running along the ridge to South Franklin Mountain, be aware that this is a technical trail and a fall could be dangerous in places.
