    It was okay. Not easy. I was looking for an easy trail to warm up to the new season. There are easy portions, but it was a steady climb for 3/4 and a steep, slippery, rocky, decent the rest of the way back. Might have enjoyed it had it been properly rated.

    Awesome loop with hundred mile views. Solid elevation either way of the loop. Go CCW for a big .75 mile 1000 ft climb , go CW for a steady and chill climb and big descent. 10/10
