      This hotel is very close (1 mile) from the after-party at "The Keg Steakhouse & Bar". Although it's a steakhouse, the lady from parks & rec I spoke with said she will try to have Veggie and Gluten-free options available too. :-) http://www.kegsteakho...

    I like to know the trail details when I do these. According to this map if you're doing the "Romero Pools" segment, it's about 5.6 miles, 900 ft elevation gain, it-and-out style.
