This is my close to home favorite place for a quick hike. The paved trail is great when bringing along little ones (grandchildren). I try to stick to M-F, I prefer to park on 7th St so the limited parking makes weekends impossible. However, with the recent heat, parking hasn't been a problem. Two weeks ago at 115 degrees and today 116 degrees. I hike with a water bottle and leave a frozen one in my truck. The 360 degree view is great.
