Shortly after going over some large, exposed tree roots, you reach the beginning of the loop section. Take a glance around to familiarize yourself with this intersection-it can be easily missed when returning to the trailhead. Go left or right to begin the loop, then pass several more scenic sloughs and eventually reach a bend in Big Sandy Creek. When you reach the loop intersection again, return to the trailhead.
