This hike starts with a steep climb up to the Greenwood Lake overlook
(you could turn around at the overlook,
if you wanted, making this hike a
1.7-mile out-and-back venture instead of a 4-mile loop, but you’d be
missing
out on some nice trails, sights and small rock scrambles beyond
the overlook).
