Distance: 3.5 miles, Gain: 700', Intermediate.This was previously designated easy-intermediate, but some thought it should be labeled as intermediate because of the extended inclines.

Happy Full Moon! Let’s enjoy hike and potluck! This hike is rated easy-intermediate because it is a continuous incline for 1.5 miles. This isn't real steep, but it is continuous, and many beginner hikers have indicated this should be rated intermediate (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781). That said, there is no reason a fit beginner cannot complete this hike. […]
