-no show shoes in February after a fresh snow and still comfortably hiked. -TONS of fantastic camping spots -not too challenging minus the snow (and 3 short inclines) -friend and respectful people, absolutely no trash or even campsite remnants

We had a few hours to kill and decided on a shorter hike around the outmost edge of Maxwell Falls trail. I 100% recommend taking the path less traveled by going as far around the outside as you can due to the highly populated trails through the middle. I guestimate we went about 5.5-6 miles and I could have done more as this was very easy terrain. Our dogs loved it and my legs loved it more. Only took us 2 hours to do that with some exploring so don't plan on a full day.

Wow. I'm writing this on my sore legs but I'm writing this wish some serious enjoyment. The drive in, the initial climb, the views along the way, and the incredible finish. This hike has everything you could want in a hike or a camping trip. We went in shorts and I had a cutoff on but the weather was incredible, even after the sun fell below the mountains. Make sure to bring some energy with you, I had a few energy bars that did me right, but my roommate was hurting a bit more. Also, we walked on top of about 3-4 feet of snow, falling in a couple times, so make sure you have waterproof boots that are tied up tight. Amazing day, amazing night. HIKE THIS PATH!
