Rolling hills rather than big climbs, with the trail between about 900 and 1,400 feet. Footing is rocky and often leaf covered, with a few ankle deep stream crossings. The trail stays open to other users.

Parking and travel

Runners and crews park in the main east lot on the pool side, fully off the road; do not block Highway 190. A $10 state park parking pass must be displayed, or use an annual pass.
