Length: 12.7 miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
This challenging trail with its many ups and downs, and crossings
through gaps and over mountains is sure to give you a good workout. Easier
if hiked in a counterclockwise direction
This yellow-blazed loop trail begins in
Vogel State Park and returns there after many ups and downs, crossing
through gaps and over mountains. Some ascents are made gradually around
the slopes and others steeply up the ridges. It is somewhat easier if
hiked in a counterclockwise direction. Approximately one fourth of the
trail crosses through the Blood Mountain Wilderness. Blazes will be
farther apart on this section. A permit is required for both day and
backpacking and is available free from the Vogel State Visitor Center.
