Itinerary description
This was a nice hike, but nothing that would scream you have to do it. In a sense, this type of hike is perfect if you are looking for a nice stroll of solitude as there isn’t going to be a lot of traffic and it has enough to keep it enjoyable. Overall, we saw only 2 other groups on the trail on a Saturday afternoon. There are a couple of views of the valley and I’m always a sucker for hikes overlooking a running stream. In this case, the portion of Sulphur Spring trail was the best part of the hike.
