What people say
- People like:
- A quieter alternative to the Grind and a demanding workout.
- Worth knowing:
- Steep climbing and uneven rocky footing.
Took the Larson route on PCMC Trail today; super steep and a real leg-burner, but such a great workout with beautiful forest views.
Fun vertical trail. Can take the gondola back down, $25 per person.
