The side of the road is the best place to park but spaces can fill up quickly on weekends.

As you get toward the top, it gets technical. You’ll need to use your hands to scale the rock.

Keep an eye out for the sign where you make a left to switch from the white to red trail.

The second half of the loop (including the descent) is much less technical.
