Wasn’t expecting it, but right from the trail head the trail is covered in snow, and is snow covered the rest of the way. Shortly after you start, when you get to the lamp post, the trail heads right, so always keep the lamp on your left, if not, you’ve gone too far from the trail. The trail then heads up the little valley following the stream. All the way up until the saddle, the snow is compact and easy to tread on. Gorgeous views from the saddle into the South Fork valley area. Then you can either go left up Mt. Gordon Lyon, or right up South Fork Overlook. Mt. Gordon Lyon seemed to be the easier of the two, with a compact trail. We decided to go right and try South Fork Overlook - snow was NOT compact and very slippery, so we turned back. Logged 3.5 miles in 2 hours
Great trail for a beautiful fall day! A climb at the peak, but the views were amazing! No bugs! A little bit of loose rock to manage on the climb down.
Great hike up, trails clear, blueberry picking going on all around. Parking fee $5/day, $25/year. Gates close at 10pm.
Good day. Overcast, but despite the forecast for rain, it was dry and cool. Trail is dry as well.
Very pretty hike but the elevation can make it more difficult if you are not used to it. We went up about 1.5 miles to the top of the first mountain and walked back down the same way. I would have really struggled making it to the top of the loop but the view was very much worth it.
Worst road to a trail ever! Very hard on vehicles but gorgeous views
