This hike was amazing! parking lot was full by 6:20am so get there when the gates open if you’re hiking on the weekend. As for the trail, you start going down hill for quite some time which makes you weary if you’re headed in the right direction, but you are ! The trail was shaded the entire way up which was wonderful. friendly tip…bring bug spray! the mosquitos were horrendous. The trail was clear cut the entire way up so it was easy to navigate. Don’t get your hopes up on how easy the hike is the first 4 miles or so…the last 3 are where it gets steep. The peak was a bit cold but nothing more than a light jacket was needed. trying to find the trailhead down was a little confusing but you will see people who do this hike regularly and they should be able to guide you to the trailhead down 🙂 there is also a little snack bar at the top! enjoy some ice cream before you head back down! weather couldn’t have been more perfect for us in the low 70s all day.
