This is MY hike.
I like it because it's not packed with people, making it easy to pick your pace and not worry about having to navigate crowds. Also, an added bonus is less people = less people littering and leaving their dog's shit everywhere. Sadly, trash and dog crap abound at many of the Valley's trails, but it's fairly under check here.
I take Holbert to the Dobbins Lookout, then go back down and rejoin Holbert to the end, and then take it all the way back down. FYI: at Dobbins Lookout there are toilets (technically) but they are not plumbed and as such, the stench will keep you away. I do wish something could be done about that...
