Rating: Abineau - strenuous 2.5 miles of all uphill. 1800 foot elevation gain! A little bit of way finding. Some stair stepping over rocks and roots. Narrow trail.
Bear Jaw - 5.12 miles of downhill. Easy going. Clear path.
Time recommended to complete: 4 hours. Time we completed the hike: 3 hours and 58 minutes!

A perfect V.
We made it to the top!

Most of the aspens had shed their leaves.

The sun was shining through but we found some color!
Thanks to my watch, here's a nice view of the loop.
The start of the trail is from the green dot to the loop.
The left side to the point is Abineau.
The right side from the point is Bear Jaw.
Great hike overall! I would definitely do it again!
