    Great trailhead leading to a couple of different trails. The Tavertine Falls path takes you to a very cool cave, and if the season has been wet enough, a small waterfall! Be sure to check this place out on one of your hiking adventures!

    Loved the environment, was really surprised as to how many people were out with there dogs on the trails. That is what we did was take our dog and she really liked it. Would definitely be prepared with some water and the right shoes and clothing to go hiking, the trails are really rocky so some nice boots would be great! The view is perfect. The pictures we got were awesome! Really enjoyed the day especially because the weather was wonderful this is a place I would totally recommend for others to visit and I would also like to go back again! Thank you!

    This trail is great, since it's mostly limited to people on foot. Very occasionally I've seen people on horseback, but no mountain bikes and no motorized traffic at all. Within a mile you run into some "attractions", which means this trail can be satisfying to people who are unable to commit to a lengthier and more time consuming hike. Altitude gain is rapid and the incline provides for a good cardiovascular workout. I hit this trail regularly. I used to go every morning, before work. These days, I only go on Saturday, early. Parking is limited, and it's a VERY popular trail. As such, I highly recommend getting an early start. The downside to the trail is the sheer volume of traffic. The main reason I quit going so often was in a feeble attempt to reduce impact. Too many people, all loud it seems. I mean REALLY loud. People with music playing, people who were (apparently) born without an indoor voice, lots of screaming children, people who bring remote control cars (with their whinny little electric motors), and all manner of other noise... I was even there once when a crew was filming a movie or something. Their actor's only line was "NOOOOOOO!!!!" They did a LOT of takes... *sigh* Violations of posted restrictions to the area are common. People camp overnight, in spite of the signs posted prohibiting it. People bring dogs, but fail to keep them on leashes. People bring dogs, but fail to pick up their mess. People fail to remove their own waste too. Oh I mean they certainly leave trash, but I'm talking about actual human feces... People are disgusting... Other than the human element, however, it's a great trail.

    Fun easy trail with a slight incline, definitely would recommend hiking shoes, it's very rocky. It's hot but lots of shady spots to get away from the sun.

    Fun trail and short, great for a quick morning walk. It's definitely good for kids. We will go back in the spring to see if the waterfall is more than just a trickle.

    Very rocky trail and mostly include so be prepared for that! It was a very pleasant hike, very chill and quiet! Beautiful surroundings, but such a shame most the the water has dried up.

    Great hike! This trailhead leads into others up the mountain as well, which can get you all the way to the peak if you want! If you're not very experienced though just be aware it will be pretty steep, and go early in the morning during the summer. When there's water there's a nice little waterfall not too far up the trail too. There is definitely not enough parking at the trailhead for how popular this area is...but unfortunately I don't really see a good way to solve that, so just get there early!

    Awesome steepish trail that is covered with trees and the brutal sun is shaded for the majority of the hike. Once you get to the cave part - KEEP GOING! You can free hand the rocks or go to your right and walk up. How far does it go? I don’t know yet, but it’s not but a mile to the cave destination
