flipnidaho,
Actually there's no trail, it's a road going up a steep mountain. Nothing technical but it's a challenge as we have to climb it and man...no recovery and the only reward is when you go back and you have to go down all the way to the parking area...

It is only 14.5 kms as per kilometer marker at the top of the mountain and only 1,240 meters of winding all uphill road. It is actually a training ground for road bikers because of the elevation and it is very steep...not even a minute to recover...
