8.2 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
This is quite a nice area to hike from ..... if you don't mind hearing gun shots and listening to OHV's all day! But seriously, the trail was in great condition, and was quite empty the entire day. The low lying areas were quite cold and everything in these areas were white frosted and the ground frozen solid. We only met one hiker, but saw 6+ mountain bikers. My knee was hurting something awful after I tweaked it on yesterday's hike, but all the pain worked out in the first two miles, thankfully!
