Route Recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX

I did this lasso loop clockwise with a side-trip up to Bell Pass.

There weren't any clouds out, but the temperature was cooler than it has been and there was a nice breeze blowing most of the way.

You could smell and see smoke from a wildfire near the landfill on Highway 87 and Gilbert Road; so the air quality wasn't the best.

At Bell Pass I went a short distance on the use trail that goes up toward McDowell Peak. I will check it out further once winter gets here.
