Dogs: Off-leash

Description

From the entrance near a tree overlook, the trail drops STEEPLY downhill. It continues to wrap around as it contours around and in and out of some fun creek beds before ending back at the lower intersection with Lower Rock'N'Roll.

It's tough to find negatives about the view at Avalanche Lake....except maybe that at some point you have to run back 10+ miles.
