  • This was a bit much for me at my age (and at that altitude). Had to stop and rest my heart five times. My husband didn't seem to have much trouble. It was just around the corner from where we were...

  • There is an easy loop trail around the crater or you can go over the top and complete a 3.7 mile loop with an uphill and downhill. Good trail surface all the way. Lots of unmarked trails so be sure....  more

  • Easy hike up to the summit of the crater with some small switchbacks. Views are a mix of peaks and subdivisions. I loved seeing the ancient caverns on the summit, the red cliff mesa that is part of Walnut Creek Canyon, and two sweet deer.
  • Really cool place. Great for a shorter (hour long) hike up. Once you get to the top, be sure to take a turn to the right to go over to the second peak where the caves are. The caves we're pretty cool and may be a lot of fun for the kids to play around in. Personally I liked the views a lot more. Happy hiking!
