A sign at the start of the Pyrite Loop directs visitors which way to travel depending on the year. Even years, travel clockwise. Odd years, travel counter-clockwise.

Some loose rocks in sections but nothing very technical. My 8 year old had a lot of fun as there is minimal climbing. Good place for families. 3.4mi
