Very nice and fun hike with a beautiful view. There are some steep areas to climb but not real difficult.

My girlfriend and I hiked up here on 10/03/2022. Trail was a bit muddy and some places quite steep. Trails were well marked and the view up by the fire tower was great. Bathrooms down at the parking area were clean. Overall the hike up to the tower and back took us about 2 hours. Would recommend more than sneakers due to the mud and wet spots along the trail.
