Nice trail if you’re looking for a quick workout. It was very quiet on a Sunday morning - I only saw 4 other groups out on the hike. Forest views are lovely and the summit is pretty even on a slightly cloudy day.
I found hiking poles helpful for the steeper sections but plenty of others took this trail without them. I might recommend putting on a whiff of bug spray - the bugs aren’t bad while you’re in motion but I did get a few small bites whenever I stopped to take photos. Trailhead is easy to access and doable with any car.
I started the hike at 7:45am, reached the summit at 8:45am, and was back to my car by 10:00am. The parking lot still had spots available when I left.
Would recommend.
