Overview

Dogs: Leashed

Description

The upper portion of Hard Time connecting to Temple Canyon Road. A few fun, high-speed sections, or steep climbs if going uphill. This trail provides access to Redemption and The Great Escape.

The middle section is a fun roller-coaster ride high in the South Cañon area. The two north facing aspects will hold snow much longer than the rest, but they are short. This section provides access to The Great Escape and Lower Hard Time.
