OP 25 (Part 1)

OP 25 is a moderately difficult trail that features a variety of terrain and elevation changes across its length. The northern end starts off rockier, with small loose rocks and rutted descents that lead into steeper, more sustained climbs and descents throughout. The trail winds through lush forest dense with rhododendron thickets, offering a mix of tighter, more enclosed sections and gradual corners along wooded ravines. The surface is rougher and more worn in places, adding to the moderate challenge. As OP 25 climbs from the forest floor to higher elevations on the south end, it opens up with broader views near its intersection with OP 17.
