A good intro to the Three Blind Mice trails. Easy up and back. Just follow the round blue signs that say "Lookout Loop" in a clockwise direction from the Pearly Gates.


* Ignore the convoluted Trails in Route listed, it is pretty straight forward once you get rolling.

Trail Riddle Rd.
Steeper than other climb trails in the network but it gets you up the mountain in 30% less time than Yellow Brick Road and Neverland. It’s somewhat shaded other than the bottom. An abandoned destroyed car litters the trail after the creek crossing.

It’s a long climb that’s slow to gain elevation but scenic. Somewhat technical in spots.

Nice looong climb, mostly fairly relaxed with a few moreintense sections. No good options to get into the main set of trails before reaching the top of it.
