Summary: Follow the main trail. At 0.58 miles there is a junction with benches. Take the dim trail on the far right right. Follow the narrow trail to the right, you should see your back trail below and right of you. Shortly the trail will fork. Follow the overgrown trail to the left up the rocky slope to the saddle around the hilltop, and across the saddle to the next hilltop west. You should pass another bench on that hilltop. Follow the main trail down fro the bench and north to end on the main trail near the parking lot where you began. Trailhead: From the junction of I-10 and Trans-Mountain road, go east on Trans-Mountain road 3.8 miles. Turn left at the park entrance. Stop and pay the park fee at the gate, or proceed to the ranger booth as the signs direct. Once past the ranger booth, proceed into the park and turn right at the first paved road going right. Follow the paved road to the parking lot at the top. The large wooden sign board is the trailhead.

Reviewed by Tiffany on 2/12/2009 Hard a hard time following this trail. We didn't see any benches at .58 miles. The first part of the trail was extremely rocky. A ranger told us all the rocks were from the storms of 2006 (maybe the benches were destroyed?). We just continued on the main trail up the mountain then came back down. The views were amazing, but would have liked to follow the original loop. 
Reviewed by Cherry on 5/15/2005 Great hike, good day for it, a few rocky areas, cool with a sometimes stiff breeze...excellent hiking partners, in the Olbrisch's and the Great Danes....
