After relaxing, snacking, and generally horsing around on Round Mountain's summit, we start off, heading north along the trail that leads directly down to a trailhead just shy of the parking area where we started.

We arrived back down at the trailhead at about 5:30pm. Total time just over seven hours - probably a bit too much time for an intro hike, but our pace was quite relaxed, and Denis seemed to take it in stride.
The only remaining bit of official trip activity was a stop at the Noonmark diner - very appropriate when one has just completed a climb of Noonmark mountain, no?
