Climb out of Jack Creek Meadow on Cardiac Hill. The trail is mostly easy, but the climbs will work you with both their grade and a couple loose sections. Connects to the Jack Creek Meadow Loop at the bottom and the Engelmann Oak & Burnt Mountain trails up top. Some nice views to the east as you approach Engelmann Oak.
