This is a nice area and very easy to drive to. You'll find this area packed on the weekends because it's so easy to get to.
Although I'm not a fan of crowds of people and would rather visit nature without the crowds I still give this place 4 stars. You just have to know when to visit when they're are less people.
Try a weekday when it's not so nice out. Windy, rainy days are good. Besides those kind of days make a hike more interesting.
