Description
This is a great trail that regularly rewards the hiker with big views, changing landscape and cool rocks. Head up some switchback that pop in and out of the forest. Cruise along some rocky terrain and then come out of the forest to finish the train. You can take The Brink back to the parking lot to create a loop.
