We hiked this trail at dusk on May 7th. Absolutely spectacular. Quite a bit of exposure. Did the loop clockwise. It took us 3 at a pace of 12.6 mph. There is a new trail that short cuts the last lobe bit near Rattlesnake Arches trail. The distances shown on Trailforks are not accurate and we finished the last 1/2 hour with lights. Total distance recorded and verified with two GPS's was 7.08 miles. Trailforks shows it as 5.18 miles when adding the Pollok Bench Trail and Pollok Bench Access segments, and that doesn't account for the shortcut. Maybe someone mixed up miles and km's because the discrepancy is right about 8/5?
