This was quite the popular destination on the 4th of July with an overfull parking lot. There were a lot of people on the trail but the Marshall's Hill Trail (W6) was far less crowded than the others. There are glimpses of nearby houses through the trees but nothing disturbing to the senses. The trails were all in great condition and well marked with one exception. Exiting the De Leo Wall viewpoint to the East there is a junction with a sign pointing back to the viewpoint and another up the hill labeled De Leo Wall C9. The straight ahead trail is not marked but that is the continuation of the De Leo Wall trail. So yes, we took the wrong direction and got a little extra hiking time in. And we were not the only ones as at least 4 other groups passed by us in 2 directions during the day. There are lots of great trail options in this park to enjoy.
