Arrived at dawn, and decided to do this hike in reverse order (Counter-clockwise). Hike was nice enough, and slopes were very reasonable. A bit disappointed that there were no scenic views all the way to the Spruce Mountain peak. Somehow I missed that close to the picnic tables you can go a little further to the Lookout.

because there are only a few areas on this whole hike where you can see past any trees, and the ones I spotted were not that great. I think the Lookout was probably the best chance for a good view.

Did see a number of deer on the hike. Overall, a bit disappointed, but I usually don't expect to much for forested hikes because you generally can't see much past the trees anyway.
