A few little loop hikes in here. Bear, Elk and Deer trails do a big loop. Coyote gives a little but of elevation. The rest go through open meadows and flat for the most part. Great intro hike for the area. Good for dogs too. We did Bear and Elk trail and it took about 2 hours with dogs stopping to sniff every 30 feet.
