Foothills Loop from Testimonial Gateway

Choose a foothills outing when the landscape around the mountain interests you as much as the summit. Decide whether your day is just the mapped Foothills Loop or includes a longer River-to-Ridge connection. The word loop describes the route shape; it does not include every trail you might take to reach it.
