Second hike of the season. 4.5 miles in 2 hours. I did the full loop which i highly recommend. (Follow the trail description)
The elevation is no joke. Fairly steep at some points. Through the forest with tree cover and shaded the whole way. Trail in good condition. Bugs not too bad. Peaceful. Overall a great hike and I would do it again.
The parking lot is super small so get there early. I parked on the other side of the road on the shoulder, which I do not recommend. It’s a busy highway and can be dangerous to cross.
