  • This is a short hike (less than 30 minutes up) that is uphill but on a well maintained path. The forest surrounding the path are stunning. The views at the top are worth any elevation gain.

  • A must see and hike! You won't be disappointed. The hike is a good climb but doable for all ages. The views are well worth it! The National Park Service does an extremely good job keeping up the trails and giving the public access to one of our National Treasures.
  • Spectacular sunset and breadth of mountain ridges. Nice 1/2 mile hike up paved path, yet we had to rest going up several times due to steepness.
