This view is from near where a foot trail separates from the toll road. And then down you go, with the road not too steep, so you can get a long stride without a lot of pounding. This makes for a fast descent, just over two hours. Then a mile and a half to the gas station to call for a ride home and start eating. Definitely toasted. But no cramps, just pretty out of it for food, had enough water (I started with over two liters).

Make the time to hike this trail this winter, promise.
