The trail sports switchbacks to make it easier, but there isn&#8217;t really any level spots to mention of until you reach the top, so take your time and enjoy the wildflowers along the way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theskinnyon.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSCF45422.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-315 alignright\" title=\"DSCF4542\" src=\"http:\/\/theskinnyon.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSCF45422-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>. Once you have made it to the top\u00a0 the view is fabulous! This is not a loop hike so you will be heading down the same way as you came up.<\/p>\n<p>I would rate this hike as difficult, and it will definitely give your lower half a workout. It is approximately 10 miles from start to finish but the hard work is worth it. You will be glad you did it! Remember to bring water and wear appropriate shoes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theskinnyon.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/light-hiking-shoes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-324\" title=\"light-hiking-shoes\" src=\"http:\/\/theskinnyon.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/light-hiking-shoes-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theskinnyonscv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/light-hiking-shoes-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theskinnyonscv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/light-hiking-shoes.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You begin the Los Pinetos Saddle hike at\u00a0 the same trail head as The Falls hike, (across stream bed from the Nature Center).
