Trail Overview

This is the first half of a possible loop trail, but due to the drastic difference in ratings, this one can be done as the entrance or as an out-and-back trail. This is the mild portion of the trail with a couple of possible camp spots near the beginning of the trail. It offers beautiful mountain desert scenery typical of the area, with no major obstacles.
