This 5.4 mile loop winds through beautiful mixed conifer forest (with lots of aspen) and large meadows with beautiful views of Pikes Peak. The trail itself is generally smooth and often as wide as a narrow dirt road. The surface is often loose scree, but it is not deep, except in a rare spot or two. Some climbs and descents are quite steep while others are more gradual. As with many trails in MSP, this trail seems more suited for a gravel bike than a mountain bike.
