We began our hike at around 6:45 a.m., starting from the steep canyon trailhead and making our way up to the Summer Ridge Trail and the way back to starting point. The loop covers 2.6 miles and took us about an hour and a half to complete. Along the way, a few elevated slopes added both a challenge and a sense of accomplishment. The trail offers a variety of landscapes. Overall, it’s a perfect blend of cardio exercise,beautiful scenery, and rejuvenating outdoor refreshment.
