This hike is fantastic for beginners who are in somewhat good athletic shape (you easily can run up steps and you are ok walking for hours) . It is a loop hike that "runs along a scenic reservoir, goes by two unusual glacial erratics - Tripod Rock and Bear Rock - and reaches two panoramic viewpoints." So, let's meet-up for this early summer hike that is FREE for Premium Members and only $10 in advance for Basic.

Specs:
The hike is classified as easy to moderate and is about 4.1 miles long.
The hike should take 2.5 to 3 hours.
As with all hikes you must be in good, athletic shape.
