The trailhead parking can get crowded on weekends so arriving before eight helps avoid the rush. The loop trail is about six miles with moderate elevation gain. You will want to bring extra water because there are no streams along the upper ridge section. The views from the summit are worth the effort and the wildflowers should be in bloom soon. The terrain is rocky in parts so sturdy footwear is recommended.

The grocery list includes a few items we discussed earlier. The pasta shape you mentioned is available at the market on Third Street. I checked the pantry and we have enough olive oil and spices already. The recipe calls for fresh basil but dried works fine if you cannot find any. I plan to start cooking around five thirty so there is plenty of time to prep everything before dinner.
