Description

Lots of twists and turns compared to the nearby John Muir trails. There are some rocky sections and big ridges with tough climbs along the southern part of the loop. Fun, twisting descents, there's also a nice scenic overlook of Spring Lake and Palmyra at the west side of the loop where the green trail meets the Muir/Carlin connector trail.
