3 months agoWe went Nov 1. Currently peak right now. Rough hike but we did with kids 8, 10, and 14. We didn’t finish the last 0.5 miles because it’s too steep for the kids (and us adults 🤣) but people told us beyond that is just pine trees and no more fall foliage. Very quiet trail, not many people even on a Sat. Crossed the creek 2x but nothing too extreme. The kids crossed by themselves. 7.4 miles in and out, 2000ft elevation gain according to AllTrails. There were very little to non trail marking so we went wrong way a few times. Trail is not always obvious so pls download area map or have AllTrails apps to assist. Parking is not a lot but not too bad. We got there around 11am and got parking right away. Love the fall 🍂🍁

3 months agoBeautiful canyon hike that is family friendly, but there is one creek crossing. Was hoping to see some fall colors but I think we were a little early as of 10/18.

2 months agoLovely area and easy to walk. But can hike a little more difficult if you want. It is a dirt road so take it slow and watch for vehicles.
