  • TH: This is the shortest full loop to hike in this area, aside from the 2mi Crown Lake loop. The hike can be extended by starting from the Guard Station and hiking the gorge trail.
  • Plenty of other loop options, most of which would require backcountry camping and a shuttle. Expect Jefferson Park to be snowed in till late Spring.
