Review
OK, you just heard me go on and on about how awesome doing a CNL is, and now you are probably wondering why I even included analysis of other loops. Doing this route for 8 has one very sound purpose, but other than that, it is in every way inferior to the CNL.
The sole reason why I would suggest that you do this route is if you want to hit 8 miles in a route that includes some decent elevation. That is why this route includes two Lake Loops. Other than that, this route is exactly what you would expect. It's perfect if you are in the mood for some Lake Loops. The other thing that makes this loop quite appealing is its relative simplicity. All there is too it is just some Lake Loops and at some point, you need to work in the half mile. When you work in the half mile it is completely up to you. Want to work it in between the Two Lakes as a little break? Go ahead. After the Lake Loops as a reward? Go on ahead.
Bottom line: want a simple way to hit 8 but want a little bit of elevation? This is the route for you.
