I stayed within walking distance of the trailhead so walked to it around 11 AM this morning to check out the hike. I'm not a super avid hiker but also not in bad shape, and found the climb to be moderately strenuous.
Definitely got my heart rate going but it was rewarding because even after just a small climb you could see cool views of the city.
I wouldn't go way out of my way for the hike but it was cool enough for what it is.
