El Capitan Loop [CLOSED]

The start of the hike is popular with visitors to the park. The crowds disappear as soon as you hit the split. When the forest floor is covered in snow, it's helpful to be able to use gps, but the trail is also marked with red tags. The trails are not maintained and so the road you want to take is not signposted. It is easy to spot because it is an old mountain road. There will be rock slides that have wiped away the road halfway into that last section. The road is covered in fallen trees.
