The trail is rated easy, with a total elevation gain of 158 feet, and it is a ride as well as a walk, since it is marked as a route for bikes. The loop starts and ends at roughly the same point, with the low point at 1,599 feet and the high at 1,716 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.3 miles in, with a grade of about 6 percent.
