We only hiked about a half mile down trail 28. I'm 67, 12 weeks out of knee replacement, and I MADE IT back up the trail. BEAUTIFL views from where we stopped and turned around. Coming back up saw a group of Does just meandering across our path!! BEAUTIFUL trail, but I seriously can't see how bikers get down that trail!! Kudo to them!!
