8.5 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •

Just the standard loop, using Don's Cutoff rather than the more boring jeep trail all the way down. Extremely pleasant, after-work, evening jaunt with some of the family, allowing me to introduce all of them to one of my favorite Gorge destinations. Trail's in great shape, the streams are running very low, wildflowers seem to be a bit past peek, some mosquitoes descending after sunset.
