This hike is a moderate to moderate +, the difficult part being both the 50-minute climb up the first ridge but also the descent, as there is loose rock, stair steps and steep grades to contend with and an elevation change of 1,500 feet. Definitely worth the hike when you see the pools!



Medium Hike: Led by Montey and John P.  Approximately 6 miles in and out on the Romero Trail.













Long Hike: Led by John R . A Lollipop, 7 miles, using the Canyon Loop and the Romero Trail
