Beautiful & easy trail. You will walk beside the creek most of the trail & cross the water several times. The trail is well maintained & mostly shaded over the 6M distance. It's not a loop, so you will walk out & back. Free parking lots available @ 3 different locations. No restrooms in the area
Beautiful hike. There is a lot of graffiti, but there are still lots of beautiful views. You do have to cross water several times so be cautious of unstable rocks.
If you go on a working day, there will be fewer people and you can have the peace and quiet all to yourself. Once in a while, meet a few people who also go climbing, say hello.
