Description

Switchback climbs from Peninsula Road, near Pine Cove campground, to Riechl's Retreat. It is a short, loose climb to the western ridgeline of the Peninsula with great views of the Gore and Ten Mile Ranges, and Dillon Reservoir.

The trail climbs from the pavement through three switchbacks and ends at Riechl's Retreat trail. From this intersection, Jody's Loop is to the right and the end of Crown Point Road is left. From Crown Point Road, access Lakeshore Perimeter from either Olympian's Link, or Crown Point-Lakeshore Connector.
