HikingModerateSummerYear-round

Itinerary tips

- 2Plan for approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete the full loop at a steady pace with photo stops.
- 3Carry at least two liters of water and electrolyte snacks, as the high altitude increases dehydration risk.
- 4Download an offline GPS map like AllTrails, as the network of intersecting bike paths can be confusing.
- 5Wear sturdy hiking boots with good traction to navigate the loose shale and root-heavy sections of the trail.
- 6Start your hike by 8:00 AM to secure a parking spot and beat the midday mountain bike traffic.
