After a short day, and a day off, I was ready to finally find the loop through Arcadia Wilderness park, so I studied the map, and decided to go up the west route (the same way I had tried the first day). I did fine, but didn't notice the gate when I got there and ran the better part of a kilometer past it. I asked for directions and headed back. When I got to the entrance I found that the park is only open on weekdays. So I still couldn't complete the loop.
The route started out as flat city streets and changed to slight uphill, then to gradual uphill, the to steady uphill, then to straight up the mountain. The return run was much easier.
