Harriman delivered on this one. The loop starts with a solid climb up Tom Jones Mountain for big valley views, then settles into an easier middle section through the woods before passing Lake Skenonto. Expect some rocky terrain and a few steep bits early on; overall it’s a great mix of effort and payoff.
