This was a great day hike! I completed it in under 2.5 hours at a medium pace: 1.25hrs up, 30 mins break up top, about 45mins down. It was pretty consistently steep but there weren't many other hikers, especially for a Saturday. I started around 1:30pm and finished around 4pm and I was the last one on the mountain. There were about 6 hikers that I saw coming down, including a young kid.
I parked right by the main road next to some other cars and climbed the extra 0.3 miles to the trailhead. Not bad at all! There was some beautiful fog that I passed through and at the top a couple curious birds. Friendly enough to land on your hand if you fold it out.
Awesome December hike if you're looking for something that's snow-free!
