Definitely a good trail if you are wanting a workout. Not a great trail for scenic views. First mile is pretty much all incline. Lots of rocky areas and trail is narrow in many spots due to erosion.
If you're looking for a somewhat challenging hike, this is it! We really enjoyed it, but here is what I think is important to know: It's fairly steep and the terrain is rocky. It isn't well maintained, so there were times when we wondered if we were still on the trail. We saw quite a bit of poison ivy that would be really easy to brush up against if you're not paying attention because it's right up to the edge of the trail. I'd hesitate to bring children on this hike, but we did see families there. The view is nice, enjoy!
The trail across the top from one lookout to the other is great. The trails up and down are quite steep and there are lots of washouts and slippery areas. Pay attention and you should be fine. There is also lots of poison oak to be on the lookout for. The views from the top are great.
Nice place with really good views on the crest. The trails vary in condition, but parts are very rough and hard to follow. There is a substantial elevation gain to the top, the trails are steep in some areas.
Dog friendly.
Excellent place to take a short hike. Some of the trail is steep and can be a little rough if you are not used to steep, rocky climbs. Be careful of poison ivy. There was a lot of it on the trail.
Gorgeous view! It was a steep climb but not too long. On the way we saw an owl and plenty of interesting insects and fungi. Add a Gorgeous wife to that you have the recipe of a perfect hiking experience!
Fun hike and beautiful area! Don’t be fooled by the short distance to the lookout. The hike is pretty much straight up. My 3 year old struggled but my 6 year old could handle the hike.
Plenty of parking, restrooms and pavilion.
We decided to take the West Trail and it was a strenuous hike but worth it in the end! The vistas at the tip were great! Definitely a great addition to our trip!
