Challenging hike with great views at the top but rather boring scenery on the hill itself. Lots of shale/slate like slabs of rock are all over the mountain and trail itself which look like Krypton and make the footing difficult. It is over 1000 ft in rise in about a mile in so it is pretty steep at spots but nowhere near as difficult as Echo Canyon, and nowhere near as exhilarating or interesting in its formations or scenery.
