A really good hike with some challenges in elevation. The biggest elevation gain is the first 1.8 miles where Mesquite travels up to the junction of Willow Canyon. I recommend going clockwise if you are going to do this loop (Mesquite to Ford Canyon to Willow Canyon back to Mesquite). If you go counter clockwise there is a mile uphill between Willow Canyon up to Ford/Mesquite. Clockwise is downhill!
Willow Canyon is really very pretty

Difficult start with a big ascent and switchbacks. A few snakes but beautiful views.
