Cyn and I did a fairly intense (steep) 4-5 miler today. It was basically a part of a conditioning/ long range shooting loop route on BLM I'd figured out years ago... put in steel plates, etc. However it no longer functions as a loop due to logging, so we just sorta did half of it then headed back.
I'll say this. Around here, if you're someone who gets out in the woods and finds your cool secret spots in mature timber... chanterelle patches, unofficial trails, huge cedars, waterfalls, etc (all of which this loop had)........... don't get too attached to it.
