After about two miles, you will hit a split in the Hewlett Gulch Trail. From here you can either take a right, left, or turn around and retrace your steps down the sloping hillside to the trailhead. If you take a left, you will climb steeply uphill on a series of switchbacks with increasingly great views. If you take a right, the trail stays relatively flat, passing some unique rock formations, and across the river a few times. Most mountain bikers go right up the flatter trail to save the switchbacks for a fun, techy downhill, however, most hikers take the left to climb uphill, so be aware of them as you ride.
