  • Great trail but not for the faint at heart. Right out of the gate it’s a fairly steep, narrow path with lots of roots and rocks. We went with 3 kids, youngest is 5, and it was a pretty good 1.5 hr workout for them. Definitely doable with kids, especially ones who love hikes, but certainly not for folks of reasonable fitness. Folks with balance issues should stay away. The views at the top were wonderful. Definitely worth the effort!!
  • This trail was everything.... The view is unbeatable and I didn't want to leave the top .. once you see the pictures you will understad.understand. The trail is definitely not easy, but medium, so mostly anyone could do this... perfect for fall weather.
