East Fork to Vandeventer Trail Loop

Author: Eric

• Saturday, January 31st, 2009

“Vandeventer Trail – 22″, originally uploaded by Cobber99 on Flickr and is part of the photo album linked to below.

A nice 8.5 mile loop that showcases the variety of the Indian Canyons, this loop took me three hours and was moderate.  While there were no major elevation changes, there are four distinct 10-foot walls to scramble along the East Fork trail which makes this a poor choice for children and/or inexperienced hikers.
