Description
Obviously, you can hike this either direction. Going counterclockwise starts you off going downhill on doubletrack with pretty good footing. A nice warm-up for the climb to come. The middle two miles are probably the toughest because it's uphill on gravel and not as scenic. The final two miles are the payoff-very scenic, fun switching back and forth on a packed trail, and you finish on a downhill.
