From there, we took the Talus Rock trail path that headed Southeast. Its a pretty good ascent up the hill. There was alot of folks going up and down the first portion, most of them look like they were preparing for a big hike. Briar did a great job, but was pretty tired. For the first mile your climbing up over 1200 feet in Elevation. But once you get about 1.3 miles in, you hit some really beautiful rocks. Along the way there are some cool streams and a small waterfall that runs along a huge rock wall. The decsent was really nice and easy and it gave us a chance for Briar to walk without a leash. We got back in about an hour and half. It was alot of fun. Check out some of the pictures on my myspace. Map   Elevation (ft)
