4 months agoThis is a great hike that is moderate and it takes us about 2 hours. The trail is rocky so make sure you have good ankle supporting hiking shoes or boots. Make sure to get there early to find parking otherwise you will have to park at the school 10 minutes away and take the free shuttle that doesn't take long.
