1 Return times, distances, and elevation are very approximate. But we leave on time, so don’t be late
2 Instead of bearing left to the quarry, we will bear right down to Muddy Creek (DCH has never done this, but I’m told that Jan Vail likes it, and what can be a better recommendation.)
3 Goes back toward Long Lake. Great mushrooms last year
4 Often some people continue on to Long Lake
5 New last year and quite popular—beautiful views
6 Be bold and do the loop. The views are wonderful.
7 Causeway Loop is LONG—unless you fall off.
8 DCH has been pushing this for 3 years. Little elevation gain, great views over North Park and Never Summer Range. Turn around whenever
9 Guaranteed to get slightly lost but they don’t have to send out rescue dogs
