  It's a good hike! A little difficult at the end. Previous hikers left cairns along the way to let you know you're going in the right direction because it's hard to tell if you're on a trail when you're climbing rocks. Amazing views at the top make it so worthwhile.

  Amazing views, extremely difficult hike if you're a flat lander but well worth it. Slightly over 6 miles, but well over 1,000 ft elevation gain, took me 5 hours without stopping much.
