We finish just minutes before 2pm, and we immediately rush to ferry the southern-terminus car back to here. A very nice trail, all in all. I wouldn't call it the most spectacular trail around, but it has a different and nice flavour, and certainly does have some nice views here and there. Moderately strenous if you aren't rushing!
Look Below! The map you see below is a fully-interactive google-based map, with the location of our Monroe skyline traverse highlighted and the actual GPS tracklog shown in red. If you double-click on the map, you will get a full-size popup that includes the GPS track in 10x higher detail, clickable icons for each picture taken on the hike, and the ability to view all of this on a highway, satellite, or USGS topographic map.
