This popular trail isn't a hard run as such, but it is made more challenging than it seems at first due to the presence of lots of rocks and roots and even the occasional fallen tree in the trail, and lots of other trail users including walkers and mountain bikers. The centerpiece of the loop is an iconic outcropping of Sherman Granite that does look a bit like a turtle when viewed from the right angle.

Pretty Barber Lake is a great roadside destination, but it also makes a decision point (or starting place) for runners, as you can choose from several routes here. One fun option is to power up the single- and double-track of the Barber Lake Trail — with consistent elevation gain that will have your thighs burning — then loop around and freewheel it on the descent along Barber Lake Road.

Pretty Barber Lake sits at the juncture of the trail and the road of the same name. This is a great place to start or end a hike, or to piece together a loop between the Barber Lake Trail and Barber Lake Road. This area is also surprisingly good for spotting butterflies and moths. Keep an eye out for unusual species including the hoary anglewing and the green comma.

This hard-packed gravel trail is built on an old railbed, and makes for great running. Watch out for other trail users (including bikes) and for occasional ruts left by all-terrain vehicles. You can easily turn this into a loop by incorporating some of the Forest Service roads in the area, or just run back on the rail trail if you prefer.
