January 17, 2021January 2, 2021Great range of conditions. The hardest points are at the beginning and end with elevation gain. Started early so the hublein side wasn't busy to start but the mdc reservoir had more people than I'd prefer and the hublein trail was busy when returning for the end of the loop. Some parts of the trail are pretty wet.

The blazed trail between the lake and the tower is nice for solitude, but the ends of the trail are pretty busy. beautiful scenery and generally gentle climb. easy/moderate. just a nice hike on a fall morning :)

May 10, 2020April 20, 2020This was a great hike up to Heublin Tower. Trails were muddy in certain places but that was expected as it just snowed. Can’t wait to do this in warmer weather. Well marked trails and some hill climbing.

First to ReviewFound this place through the app. We went on 4/17 during that little snow flurry and it was amazing! Can’t wait for warmer days!
