As can be seen by the trail's profile above, the loop is about 7 miles long and has 2000 feet of altitude gain. Physical exertion for the horse is rated at 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. There is moderate rockyness. The average slope is 15% with a small sections over 30%. We got off and walked the horses at times to give them a rest and to stretch our legs. Recommended for an intermediate rider to gain confidence.
It is open cross country riding from the saddle at the top of McKee Creek to the saddle on the top of McNabb Creek. The trail spur to Buckskin Basin is shown in green on the map. Darrel Beard discovered an older abondoned Forest Service trail in the McKee Creek basin.
The area covered by this project is a perfect local getaway that has everything horseback riders love, old groves of Douglas Furs, flowered meadows, towering mountains, clear flowing streams, and views in all directions.
