Heavy Breathing, Fat Burning Push Up Heizer Trail To Barney's Dome

Up, Up, Up and summit! This is NOT an easy hike but the cool views are worth it!

This is a challenging 8.5 miles out and back trail with about 2800 ft elevation gain that features lovely rocks, a small creek and extraordinary views!
