This intermediate loop is geared as an introduction to LPQ but can be a nice daily driver if you will. It primarily features the main north and south side trails with the addition of a climb up "Powerline" followed by some ridge line riding over to the "S%$^Ts" trail and then a drop back down into the main canyon. This loop serves as a good base to build and longer adventures out of the canyon.
