Parked at the area where there was once an emergency phone. Hiked up the pretty canyon across the road & on up the ridge to Jean's Peak & then to Mount Greybeard. Descended Greybeard & hiked all the way over to Pinto Ridge highpoint. Descended back to the lower part of ridge, then down into the pretty canyon that runs between Pinto Ridge & a lower ridge. I looped back through that canyon all the way back to my Jeep. That canyon is rough, but so pretty. There is nothing beyond class 2, but it is rough & tiring. I had to climb out several times to get around dead ends/obstacles. I love this loop & have done variations several times.
