Today was the perfect weather for a hike! The trail was dry and easy to navigate (lots of signs along the way). However, due to the good weather and our choice to go during the weekend, both the main and overflow parking lots were full. Luckily, we were able to park at Tanner Landing Park which was only about a half mile from the trailhead.
There were lots of dogs and children on the trail. The incline of the hike had steep sections and some flat sections. There were plenty of lookouts that were beautiful places to slow down and enjoy the scenery. While on the hike, we encountered 3 different species of bird. The golden-crowned kinglet, hairy woodpecker, and pacific wren.
About halfway down the trail, there was a large cliff edge where people were climbing. If you have the gear and experience, I definitely recommend!
At the top, it was not too crowded and the view was beautiful. Some sections on the way down were steep, so be careful and watch your footing. There were lots of rocks on the trail so bring proper shoes.
