Beautiful hike. Not long trail at all. Uphill but not strenuous to craggy flats and gazebo. Great walk for a pup or sunset/sunrise hike.

Worth the trip and the little hike..Stopped at the gazebo for a picturesque view..

one of my favourite, low-key hikes to take either when i just need to soak in my love for my hometown, or to show others just how absolutely lovely the area is! so many childhood memories are here. highly recommend - and take a pic at the octopus tree!

Fantastic short hikes with amazing plant life. Great atmosphere.

Southwest of the Craggy Hardens visitors center is the 0.7 mile trail of the same name. Highly recommend hiking poles (which we purchased at the visitors center) as many stepping stones are loose and lopsided and will move or flip. With the trail muddy from fog and drizzle and step motions of varying heights, plus elevations I would have easily injured myself several times without poles. The trail has elevation change in the 200 foot range and is not handicapped accessible. It is probably a light to medium difficulty for pure walk hiking, there are no ledges or bridges to negotiate. There is a shelter and picnic area. We paused to chat with a fellow hiker who was eating a snack. Took us about an hour round trip. Really enjoyed this trail as it was challenging enough for our first hiking pole use and demonstrated how proper equipment can make a hike less stressful and more enjoyable than constantly staring at the ground for obstacles and giving a little bit more time for pleasant chatter and viewing yet feel a bit more challenged tha a flat trail. Would visit this trail and nearby trails again it was a positive experience and challenging enough.

The views were awesome! Trail was uphill the whole way, so make sure you have some comfortable footwear (don't worry though, it's not too hard to walk). Be camera ready too because there will be more than enough photo-ops to go around!

Such a pretty view. The short hike up to the top is well worth the long range views. Dogs are allowed and our two loved it. Be sure to stop in the gift shop for some information about the area and for an awesome view out the window into the mountains! Especially impressive in October!

Great little hike!!! The gazebo offers a great view off the main trail but the top of the trail is where you'll find the best views.

Hands down, my favorite place to stop on the Parkway. It is a short trail, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in steepness. A great little climb. Perfect for all ages. And the meadow and wildflowers at the top are gorgeous all year long.

A Great view to the East and West from the overlook, also an even better view up top with a little hike. Sunrise and sunset recommended if you have the time.

Such a wonderous place to take a beautiful walk in the early spring. The first flowers are out.
