If you like switchbacks, solid trail construction and big pines this trail is for you. This trail really is about as good as it gets, simply immaculate conditions and nearly free from significant fire damage. It does offer a pretty healthy climb, however, the several switchbacks and smooth tread mitigate some of the travails of the climb.
Chumley and John headed for peaks and fire towers when we reached the ridgeline trail junction. I turned my hike into a glorified dog walk and with Kyle and turned around for the quick downhill hike back to the trailhead. The great trail conditions also lessened the impact on the knees going down and it was not the knee jarring experience that we thought might accompany dropping 2000 feet in just over a couple of miles. Instead of knee jarring annoyance, the hike down was pleasant, our pack of dogs enjoyed their surroundings and we were back at camp relatively quickly. |
