This year we will again include the Pierce HOV loop before heading up to Signal Peak. The Signal Peak trail is considered moderate but is forever changing and there are a couple of obstacles to make things interesting. A recent change in accessibility to Rattlesnake Road will make it necessary for us to return to the staging area rather than exit through Cisco Grove.
