There are two main loops to explore at this trail system. The northern loop is rated as "most difficult" and the lower loop is rated as "more difficult". Both loops are one-way and are about 11 miles long but there are no easy or novice trails.
Most of the terrain is steep and rocky with loose rock and tree roots overlapping the trails. Overnight parking is prohibited at the trailhead but primitive camping is permitted along the trails as long as you do not block any routes.
