The whole trail is listed as around 32.5 miles, but I think that is in, around loop, and out to trail head. Anyone know what just the loop portion is?

Probably way to late but...
I've hiked the whole trail along with section hikes of it and in my mind the trail is 30 miles and not 32. That being said, my measurement of just the loop comes to 19 miles. Since a person will cover the section to/from the parking lot twice, that adds up to 11 miles.

Thanks and not too late. I thought the loop might be more like 10-12 and the "neck" to lot 9-10. I think the loop might be beyond what I want to do for a day trip.
