Trail Overview
This moderate out and back heads to the top of the world, where there's an interesting-looking Conex container with some experimental-looking equipment. The lower section is twisty and rolling hills with excellent views all around. There is even a nice look tank, but unfortunately, no camping signs are posted in that area. Continuing on, the trail takes a sharp turn and has a long steep rocky climb. This hill is quite a climb and could be a nightmare if rainy. There are two bars of LTE service atop the mountain. None during the hill climb.
