This hike is my normal go to hike that I do 2,3x a week for the cardio. Sometimes do the same trail (with the family) just past the electronic towers and take the dirt trail to the top of the peak which is South West from the gate but not as far (2.53 mi). When with the family, I don't make it all the way to the Flag. It is a nice hike which starts out on a dirt road from the parking lot, really easy to follow. When you hit the pavement, that's when the fun starts. Remember to regulate your breathing (in through nose, out through mouth) and keep pushing on, your heartrate will escalate! Once to the top, follow the fence line trail South to the top and continue on this trail South/South East (you'll see Old Glory to the South). The trail goes up and down the ridge line all the way to the top of a peak which Old Glory is atop. Follow the trail back the way you just came and you'll be good! There is another trail you can take back down called Bolt Trail almost back to the towers. This trail is ok going up but kinda slippery going down due to gravel and such.
