Trail Overview
What a great way to get from the valley high up to the ridges. The views lower down are nice and mostly of trees. As one climbs, the views become way more expansive. There are no good dispersed camping spots on this trail, but some old forestry cuts may offer an excellent spot for the night. There are a few bars of Verizon LTE near the bottom and the top of the trail. There is no service in the middle. Overall, it's a nice trail with just a few ledge shelf sections. But they are well worth the views.

Difficulty
This trail is very well maintained, even if it does get a bit narrow in some places. There are turnouts for oncoming traffic here and there.
