Walter and Esther Hewlett Royal Gorge Rim Trail

The 2.9 miles roll continuously through 4 distinct climbs, adding up to 350 ft of gain without one dominant ascent. The main climb starts right off the line and runs 0.46 miles, gaining 117 ft at an average 4.8%. The steepest sustained pitch averages 12% and begins just past mile 0.70. You finish 121 ft below the start, so an out-and-back saves the climbing for the return.

At 2.9 miles it is longer than 92% of the 162 trails mapped in Placer County.
