    Mostly flat and easy. Beautiful views and interesting geology all around. At the 2.7 mile mark you have to make some decisions. Head back or on to the peak. If y.or choose the peak you have to choose right or left. We went up on the right then headed on to the lighthouse. You can get up to the flat area between the peaks but it can be a difficult. Up and down. Worth it if you so choose. Down on the right, left from the bottom, you may well spend some butt time. Be safe out there.

    I suggest making it a loop with the GSL trail. Not really any harder, though a little (2 mil) longer. Different sites on the way home with less traffic on that section
