December 28, 2020December 27, 2020First hike here since the May 2020 wildfire. Scorched earth on the north side. Will be interesting to see what recovers if we get some winter rain.
December 6, 2020Well-maintained and clearly marked desert trail with lovely views. Still a fair amount of fire damage, but the desert is coming back.

November 11, 2020October 28, 2020October 10, 2020October 3, 2020June 1, 2020April 20, 2020Nice hike. We started at Overton Trailhead. Overton is pretty flat. Still a fair number of wildflowers. This loop is not as scenic as the Quartz-Slate Go John loop but is still nice and gives you a longer hike.

February 21, 2020We just did a loop to & from the explore building. Nice trail, there is a bit of horse traffic.
November 23, 2019$7 entrance fee. Good trail, very clearly marked. Great area but it feels like no matter how far you hike out there you are always just a turn or two away from seeing more houses. Never really felt like you are completely away like some of the other areas near by.

May 26, 2019Challenging but fun. Had to really concentrate on the terrain.
October 23, 2018Beautiful hike with awesome views, I would consider this hike closer to easy in intensity. It was also heavily trafficked at times with many being novice hikers.

First to ReviewWe did this hike counter clockwise and added the Clay Mine Trail to lengthen the overall hike. This is more of an easy trail than moderate although there are a few moderate climb and decent areas. Most of the trail is smooth which explains the more than usual bike traffics. Our total hike was 7.4 miles in 3:15 stopping 20 minutes for lunch. Overall a nice hike and great way to spend and afternoon. Plenty of parking and restrooms at trail heads
