Roller Coaster: From the You Tube videos, it looks like The Roller Coaster is the hardest.
Pines: Would have been an easier course to try first.
Snake: I expect this to be similar to The Roller Coaster.

Bloomer Videos
Bloomer Park Lap (2x Speed) - starts at river trail just past marker 22. Video keeps stopping, but it looks like this covers the complete trail. It is our current path up to the 8 minute mark, I am looking for the first switchbacks just before the big trees. That is where we plan to get off next time.
Ridge & Switchbacks - Not sure of exact path on upper ridge, Toilet Bowl Switchbacks then into Lower Ridge Trail
