9 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
This was an out and back hike, rather than finishing up with the loop. The first few miles on the equestrian trail were rather boring but once I got off of it to head up the ridge, the trail became more varied. If you go, I'd advise not to wear shorts as there's a lot of brush on the trail. Also, at about 2700' I encountered a couple hundred yards of snow that needed to be slogged through.
