May 1, 2021 • Hiking This would be a great trail if the overgrowth was trimmed back. It's all nice narrow singletrack and never very steep. There isn't really any spectacular features but the whole trail is quite pretty. I climbed it in late April and it was quite overgrown on and off all the way towards the top.
