I decide to try hiking the adjacent Barber Mountain Loop Trail, or at least part of it, since I'm here

My bicycle headlight is happily recharging back at Hole-in-the-Wall Visitor Centre, so I might as well give it more time. As I begin the gentle initial climb, I turn back for a great view of the area around the top of the Rings Trail.
