Our first impression was that the trail got its name from the devilish trail crew.  The Ranger suggested the easy route up…..sure!   Anyway, it was rocky and steep both ends of the loop.  There is a lot of that terrain around here.

At the top we found a huge granite formation and some pretty spectacular views of the White Mountains and beyond.   It was a great perch to admire the area.  It wasn’t until we got back to road level and a view from the campground that we noticed that the formation has a distinctly imp-like profile from below.  Sorry trail crew for misjudging you.
