6.5 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
A perfect second trip to Catherine Creek area. Climbed up Rowland Ridge all the way up to the upper trail and back down Catherine Creek. Watch out for the poison oak everywhere along the creek. We took the time to loop the Arch this time and also did the 1 mile paved loop across from the trailhead. Flowers everywhere and vultures and hawks followed us the whole time. Only crossed paths with 1 other couple the whole day... like I said, amazing.
