TWo reasonably fit AARP+ aged folks and inexperienced hikers plus two fit adult daughters made the two mile trek up the trail at 6am in the morning. We certainly had to watch our steps and exert some amount of effort to reach the upper end of the trail. Wow! What a view and experience! Coming down is a little more... More

The hike up & down is steep and on parts of it you will be sliding around on rocks, so wear sone jeans or other thick material clothing. Take plenty of water. If you are able to move around normally, you should be able to do this with no problems. More

This was a beautiful location from which to see the surrounding area! However, you will definitely need some rock climbing skills to get to the top---well worth it though!! More
