Description

This super-steep trail provides the quickest pedestrian access from Table Mesa Dr. to NCAR. If you're into leg burning and heart pumping, try running this trail. If not, hiking will be sufficiently hard enough.

This trail is like a backyard National Park. It is well-marked, has great views, & has plenty of places to rest, NOT "ultra steep with no respite"
