👍👍 I did the 6 day trip with my family (1 - 60 year old and 5 - in high 20's) and could not recommend it more!

👍👍 I have been hiking this area since 1978 this is my dad in 2022 perhaps his last hike in this beautiful area, he is 82 with Alzheimer's. It is at this place that he and I would hike in the evenings and talk about life.... Come on out and give it a walk you two will find it to be a sacred place.

👍👍 Fairly easy hike. There are a lot of hills, rocky surface and no real directions. The views of the city are amazing. When you get to the top, there are so many trails to take. Be sure to mark where you parked.

👍👍 It’s an incredible place, it has an amazing view. There are a lot of signs in the road so you don’t get lost. It wasn’t that hard, it was my first time hiking but I do exercise frequently so… just keep that in mind. A bottle of water and a snack in case you need more energy.

👍👍 Amazing views at the top! It is a very challenging hike! Be sure you have your hands free when doing this hike! I met a few people who brought drinks and no pack to carry their drink. I saw some people carrying their drinks but a good chunk of the hike is sprawling. I brought a backpack to make it...

👍👍 I hiked up this mountain on a 104 degree day with a 16 oz of sugar free Redbull in hand making to the peak fairly easy. It's a 30 minute hike that I'd rate medium on toughness for average hikers. You'll definitely be panting hard as you near the peak. Lovely 360 view of the surrounding area when you...
