About This Trail

Imported description

It is best enjoyed in the Fall and Early Spring. The trail is not well lit in warm weather but when it does, it's double lit at turns and you can walk up the hill in under an hour. "After reaching the mountain range, you will walk along the mountain trail for over 70% of the way." The cache is located on many rock walls and there's a great view from the Window Rock lookout at the halfway point.
