👍 The view point is amazing. Just a perfect drive from the city. And when it's dusted in snow... Wow! This is one beautiful spot. Only gave it 4 stars because I didn't stay long. Just a day drive to get away. Plan on going back to camp and hike. So I'll let ya'll know. So far though, a lovely place to...

Agua Dulce Trailhead
Hiking area
👍 My car was broken into at this trailhead, so be careful! Don’t leave belongings in your car and make sure that if you are alone you bring some sort of protection. I was by myself and the perpetrators flattened my tire so I could have been in big trouble if I didn’t use the tools and tactics that I k...

👍👍 A moderate level Go-to hike (5.9 miles round). A good hike to start with after a break. It has a gradual inclination and the views from the top are quite rewarding. In summer, I would highly recommend to start early. Also, on a good day, it is very busy. So make sure to start early. Parking is a lit...
