DESCRIPTION:DATE CHANGED TO SUNDAYThis hike\, an HWD Original (copied by some\, duplicated by none) dating back to early 2009\, is a strenuous 8.5 to 9 miles with 1000 ft net elevation gain (2200 total). A combination of utility roads\, maintained\, unmaintained and disappearing trails will create a dual loop hike.
