Description
This is one of my favorite trails in this system for many reasons. It is lightly used and feels nicely remote with good views of the area. There are some challenging areas during the climb for the first 1.25 miles if you hike from the northern end. That end tends to be a little more crowded due to its proximity to the parking area off the Granite Trail.
