Description: |
Not for the faint
of heart nor feeble of thigh, this is HARD! If you don't have time
to drive to Skyline, this may serve as an acceptable substitute.
Many variations are possible with different starting points. the
trail section can be replaced with the Lyon Village-Barcroft stretch
of Another Barcroft with a start at Thomas Jefferson Community
Center. Best done early on a weekend or early morning in summer. |
