Description

The trail up to the top of Middlegate is difficult to do in one sitting. It's mostly uphill with several steep/technical sections. The descent is fun and semi-technical.

The one of many corners with "large rocks"! Nice views. Worth the effort. Almost ran over a gila monsters on down the trail.
