| - Come early for prime parking, or else you're gonna end up parking over a mile away.
Bring plenty of water, and a backpack to keep your hands free if you need to do some scrambling. If you bring young children, they're definitely going to have to scramble up some parts to reach the top. Some reviews mentioned gloves, I didn't think it was necessary but might be a good idea for short kiddos to avoid some scrapes.
Some parts are narrow and can get congested with heavy traffic, but most people are pretty courteous about allowing people to pass.
A little strenuous, would recommend thinking twice about attempting this one if you have major issues with ankles/feet like me. I wore a pair of ankle braces that you can get at your local drug store, and it wasn't too bad, but climbing over all the rocks will put some strain on your ankles.
Pup friendly trail! I brought my little homie for the first time when he was about 4 months old and about 18 pounds. He made it all the way to the top without help, but it was pretty taxing for him. Little dogs probably can't make it all the way up with a little help, so I would recommend a harness so you can lift them up some of the big rocks. And pack some extra water, there is none available on the trail that I saw. Saw a whole bunch of little bunnies, my pup almost jumped over the edge a few times to try and grab a quick snack. Be careful if your pup has a ridiculous prey drive, there are plenty of birds and little critters to tempt them over the edge onto the steep terrain that most of us 2 legs should be avoiding at all costs.
