    This trailhead is a 1 mile drive from the Cozy Bear Cabin. This is a multi-use trail so there is a chance you'll see mountain bikers. However, it is not a heavily traveled trail so you're likely to only see a few people. You can also drive to the top trailhead and just do the trail one-way if you have a driver. If you look closely at the map, you'll see there are several other trails that veer off the main Exploration Trail. 2 other points of interest....near the top of the trailhead is the Children's Forest. This has a paved trail that is specifically designed for young children and anyone who may be handicapped and have trouble on a typical trail. Also, if you go all the way to the top of Keller Peak Rd., you'll get the best views in the area and there is also a fire lookout. When it's open, they welcome visitors to go up and checkout the fire lookout.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
