Getting There
The Trailhead parking lot is 18min (14.1mi) from the Camas Chevron off Hwy 14. It's about 1.5mi to the Salmon Falls Park & Ride from the Cape Horn Lookout.
The Hike
Distance: 6.43 mi
Elevation Gain: 1,378 ft
Moving Time: 2:23:23
Avg Pace: 22:19
Calories: 1,263
Total Time: 2:36:15
I did the full loop on Aug 15th, when I took the clockwise directions. This time I opted for the counterclockwise direction.
Basically you are front-loading the elevation gain right at the start of the hike. The end of the hike is a gradual 1.5mi incline so it's not really challenging from the cardio pov.
The trail was a bit muddy and slippery but managed to keep it all on the bottom of my feet!
The climb up through the scree section was pretty cool, nice lighting.
Near the end of the trail is a large fallen tree. It's a little tricky climbing over. The tip crossed the trail as well.
