Loop as detailed on the main pageFull parking lot at 8:30 AM, but people were starting to leave and as the day went on I came to see why... the temps reached over 90 by 12:30. Much fewer people out near the peak, where an unexpected aerie was found...
The ranch house area was a nice treat on the way back.

Fun Morning HikeDid this hike early on a Saturday morning. There were a ton of cars in the parking lot, but once we hiked out a ways there weren't too many people. The trail is well-marked. I would like to come back and do some mountain biking on Daley Ranch since it is allowed. Definitely a nice location, but be sure to bring a lot of water. It's quite warm in the spring, summer and fall, even in the early morning.
Hiked with McMurdoSound.

great viewsBeautiful hike up to Stanley Peak. For some reason I thought I was on a 2.8 mile loop, but ended up hiking 6-7 miles. Definitely worth it! Mallard lake was spectacular and untouched. Definitely going to go back sometime to see if I can find any morteros in the rocky meadow along the Coyote Run trail. Saw a snake and coyotes. Views from the top were killer.

Nice in the winterSpent a leisurely afternoon walking up this peak, saw a couple of coyotes along the way.
