An aggressive climb with lots of roots, rocks and scree. You will climb up a steep mountain and have to navigate over some serious rock. You scramble up and over a section that will be just below the summit. Once you reach the top of Heart Mountain you have seen the most difficult part. It flows through the trees then descends down through the trees back to the lower trail which takes you back to the cars. This is a loop trail and not recommended as and out and back. Counter clockwise trail loop.
