East Wing is a great trail for the end of the day. It is less than 2 miles and only takes an hour to complete, but the incline up the mountain is pretty intense, so you’ll still get a good workout. Another reason to do this one at the end of the day, is the majority of the trail wlll be in the shade of the mountain.

And the veiws…the views are amazing.
