Hello Fellow Hikers,
This is a great trail good amount of flat with ups and downs. As we leave the parking lot (parking is free and it’s a paved lot) will make some inclines to a open field section to make our way to the top of the mountain. The grade is real gradual but enough to get your heart rate up. There is shade but only through sections so we plan to start on time and be out before it gets to hot. We will be following the AllTrails map from start to finish so I attached the link for directions, pics, and stats https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/challenger-open-space-loop-trail

2) Please stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up
Please remember to bring all essentials you’ll need for a hike
