Can be easy if you take your time and traverse rather than take fall line or stick strictly to the trail finding stream crossing can be difficult

A strenuous hike due to route finding and cross country bushwhacking from Barlow Butte to the Barlow Road. The trail along the ridge is often lost in blow down and completely indiscernible on the descent.
Barlow road walk back was pleasant, only one vehicle passed us and nice forest.

This was our first time hiking in this area. It was fairly easy due to minimal elevation gain. The trail was is great shape. A few blown down trees to hop or duck under. Nothing major. Two beautiful lakes to check out. We lucked out with no rain today. Started to sprinkle just as we left. Felt like someone was watching out for us.
