Between 15 and 17 miles (depending on who you ask 
and a little over a mile of elevation gain
This was a very fun trip and I hope to do it again next year. As a member of the Peninsula Wilderness club for almost a year now, I still had not gone on any outings with them. This all changed on this Sunday as 3 other members and myself did the “Koski” Loop. This loop is un-officially named after one of the members that first suggested this hike to the group, Kevin Koski.
Things to see along the way.
Abandoned Manganes mines of Tull Canyon.
B-17 Bomber wreckage at Tull Canyon.
