    Very nice trail. Very easy hike. Wish we would’ve been able to do the entire loop but we ran out of time.

    This was a great hike with some awesome views. We are not in trail shape but we were still able to accomplish this hike in a relatively short time with no major issues. No water is available so pack plenty.
