These are multi-use trails so be mindful of hikers & bikers. Horses and motorized vehicles are not allowed. Entrances are gated. The trails are closed during wet conditions.

Description

This loop is rocky and technical by design. It is very rugged trail and you'll undoubtedly be going slower than on other trails in the park.
