Description
Lasso is a trail for views and fun--a loop to test your ability great for training for long trail hikes. Lasso has a variety of different terrains, starting off with a very gravelly portion that starts in the first 3 miles. Then you head into some elevation gain and find yourself going up hills, and then you have a nice descent. Once you hit about 6 miles, there's a fantastic hill to test your abilities--this big daddy will give you a nice burn. After that, there is a nice descent followed by views on your way home.
