I grew up hiking this mountain and my dad lived down the street. There are various trails, I have my favorite though. In the spring I go during the day and often see lots of gila monsters (at least I think that's what they are). In the summer I hike at night and it's so lovely and crisp in the winter. I really like this place. It's pretty, though it's a heck of a lot more crowded then it was 20 years ago.
