A very popular hiking trail that just happens to be a sweet little bit of singletrack. There are several small (6"-20") step-ups/downs throughout. It'll test your mettle on the climb with the grade, some very tight switchbacks and step ups in the apex of those hairpins. Just be tentative to all the hikers that WILL be on the trail day or night.
