The Old Skidder Trail leaves the Flume Path about 1.1 miles from the Greeley Ponds Trail and crosses a flat area before it angles uphill on an old woods road. It follows the road on narrow sidehill before the terrain moderates and the trail turns R off the more obvious road onto a fainter path. After a short ascent, the trail turns R again and climbs over a ridge before descending slightly to the Livermore Road/Trail about 4.6 miles from the parking area in Waterville Valley.
