A great loop that covers some of the best trails of the region. The climbing is taxing but not ferocious, and one is well rewarded by some incredible downhilll trails.

Bridge is still effed. Put some flagging tape on it. First bridge after the Full Nelson intersection. Probably needs about 10 new rungs. I cleared a bunch of annoying small diameter trees/branches that were along the trail.
