This hiking counter-clockwise, this hike quickly gets steep and stays that way as you walk up a ridge. But the steepness is easy to ignore as the views are spectacular on that whole climb. I cut my hike short bath the unnamed path that splits this hike to give me a beautiful 2-1/2 mile workout. Though that cutoff is very steep, the path heading back is fairly flat and makes a pleasant and interesting walk out.
