What a gorgeous trail! Beautiful views. Clean and well maintained. There is a parking lot at the trail head with water fountains and maps.
This hike kicked my ass. It's uphill til you get to the top of the mountain (I mean duh but it was still surprisingly difficult for me). You're basically climbing stairs for 2+ miles til you get to the top. Took us about 2 hours. A GREAT work out though! The whole time I was just thinking "thighs and glutes, thighs and glutes!"
