Dale Ball North Loop from Sierra del Norte

--> NOTE: 9:00am meet time. See "how to find us" for one-time parking location (due to Zozobra cleanup operations).
I did explore this trail solo on Wednesday and it was quite pleasant weather-wise.

This is a Dale Ball Trail called "North Loop" We start (& end) at the Parking lot on Sierra del Norte off Hyde Park Rd. It is all through the Pinyon, Juniper forest and about 2.3 miles.
Nice views.
Many quiet places to stop for noticing our thoughts and sensory inputs, but we'll look to meditate near the turn-around point.
