Hiked this trail with my wife and 8 month old son in a carrier. The biggest comment I would have of this loop is it is NOT the Rim Trail as posted on the trail signs of the park. In fact, it seems to go around Rim Trail. Despite the label error, the loop is great. There are a couple of steep grades, and fist-sized rocks qualifying the moderate rating. All in all a great, albeit mislabeled, trail.
Good for trail running.
Very nice early morning hike. Fairly hilly. Lots of intersecting trails. Couldn’t have done it without AllTrails.
pretty boring. moderate traffic. wide trails. not super fun.
Great trail with the dog
It's just so dry, dusty, and rocky. There is a lot of chaparral, but no shade. The markers are hit and miss.
You're looking at the 52 for a good chunk of the hike. Plus the power lines. . .humming at you.
I get it, it's convenient, but there are so many trails EASY to get to in the SAME park.
It's how I imagine the surface of Mars at the beginning stages of terraforming.
THAT'S kinda cool, right?
Great hike this morning! Beautiful, quiet, and great views. Definitely will do again.
This is an awesome trail especially for running :)
Wow love it
I love starting the weekend with this trail! But the fish tacos after the hike are just as good!!
Hiked this today starting just before 7am. Trail wasn't marked clearly but there were several other hikers and cyclists whom we kept an eye on. Links below from Mihir J were valuable. I recommending visiting those sites and printing directions. AllTrails app dropped us in front of a house many blocks from trail head.
