This trail in its entirety is supposed to be about 3.5 miles and goes to the top of Valentine Peak. However, we were unable to go nearly that far on this occasion and just went to the top of the first hill. Going just to the point we stopped at made for a moderate 0.6 mile (one way) trail. According to our GPS, there was a 590 foot elevation change, but am rather doubtful that is accurate.

About 0.4 mile up the trail there is a chair in the middle of some tangled trees and wood.
Since this trail follows the ridge, there are some decent views here and there of the surrounding area.
