Overview
The trail heads uphill through the trees. Reach a junction where the loop starts and turn right. The trail passes through meadows and forest where you will see wildflowers blooming in May. Reach an open rocky area that burned in 2002, opening up the views. Mt. Shasta, Pilot Rock, and Mt. Ashland can be seen on clear days. There are numerous spots to stop and take a break and enjoy the view. As the trail continues it heads back into the trees and reaches the junction where you started the loop. Stay left to head back to the car.
Getting Started
Arrive early on the weekend. This is a popular hike but there's only room for about a dozen cars at the trailhead.

Beautiful hike! Butterflies and bees in the valley openings, 100’s! It was well worth the drive. After hitting the summit we went followed the lollipop trail, we ran into a 4 foot rattlesnake! I was with a Ranger and she said that it was the biggest one that she had ever seen. Bring hiking poles and hit the ground as your walking, she said the vibration scares them away usually.
