  • This is great trail to hike. The whole trail is narrow switchbacks. The view at the top is a beautiful panarama. Hardly any other hikers. No falls or streams. Just nature. A great hike. No flat spots. Peaceful
  • Pretty good hike. View at the top was worth it. No traffic. One other group the whole hike. Nice solitude. No bear my trip but be BEAR AWARE. If I could only do one hike I might be disappointed but this still was very nice.
