There are numerous individual Kodel trails that comprise a network of routes. On my hike, I hiked into the Colorado National Monument boundary and attempted to do a loop. On the map on my app, it looks easy, but in reality it wasn't. The part of the loop that I did not complete involved a difficult Class 2 or easy Class 3 climb out of a canyon that had a lot of loose rock, so it was dangerous. I decided to turn back around, which was smart because out of curiosity I hiked the other part of the loop to the point of where I turned around earlier so I could see upfront what I skipped. Yes, it was loose and would have been difficult. Always remember, "the map is not the territory!"
