Nomad Trail Loop(edit)

New trail giving more direct access to existing Nomad Tr from trailhead, bypassing the straight, road-like Soderberg Trail. My route was Soderberg to Towers to Stout to Sawmill to Nomad to TH. New trail section is a welcome, natural path along the base of the mountain. Good hike/workout for me. More mountain bikers than hikers at times, traces of snow in places though not an issue, yet. Good views to the east of the reservoir and beyond.
