                      Description - While on these trails, we tend to 
                        not get too spread out from one another. There are frequent 
                        breaks, and hiking at your own pace is highly encouraged. 
                        But don't underestimate the challenges of the Blue Square: 
                        Odds are you'll sweat and feel it in your legs the following 
                        day.

                  | Benchmark Hike - Red Rock Canyon - Nightmare 
                    Gulch Loop. Though the numbers on this hike have never been 
                    officially charted, I'd guess it's a 7 mile loop with definitely 
                    over 1,100 feet of elevation gain. | 
                 
                
                  | Benchmark Hike - Baldy Notch (7,802') 
                    - Devil's Backbone Trail - Mt. Baldy Summit (10,064') By far, 
                    the "more" difficult Blue Square Hike we have ever 
                    done! This 6.4 mile - 2,300' hike had regular Hiking the Trails 
                    participants pushing their limits. |
