Review
If you start this route by going down the main trails instead of turning directly onto the East Loop, then the first almost 3 miles of this route are identical to the first 3 of the regular Add-On routes. However, this route is injected with diversity by incorporating an East Loop for the final mile.
Doing this route means you nearly follow the officially indicated East Loop down to a T. The only difference is that instead of doing the Easternmost portion of the official East Loop, which is terribly maintained, you finish your loop on the Soccer Field. As such, the entire route is very easy to follow since there are helpful maps and signs posted throughout, guiding from the parking lot all of the way back to the soccer field. This makes this route arguably one of the easiest to navigate at Forest Meadows since every turn on this route is clearly marked.
There are some parts of the East Loop that are less than optimally indicated, but there are still constant signs, and there are very few incorrect places to turn that look remotely like prominent trails.
