This is our favorite place to bring our 80lbs siberian husky for a hike. The trail is very clear and distinct. There is a trail we walk which makes a full circle around the mountain and goes back to the parking lot, so we don't need to retrace our steps again. There aren't any steep cliffs off to the sides of the trail and the difficulty of the hike is easy. We went hiking in the evening on a week day and it wasn't crowded at all.
