This is a challenging 4.6 mile loop trail. If you are traveling counter clockwise the last 1.5 miles are very steep down grade with some pretty sketch footing. Beautiful views and plenty of shade. If you do the loop clockwise the first 1.5 to 2 miles will be a real test of your fitness. Strongly disagree with calling this trail easy. But I think I’ll do it again next week. $5 parking fee credit cards only.
