Only walked the approach trail(s) due to our arriving late and not having enough daylight available to complete, and ENJOY, the hike and the views. Plus, we had already done a little exploring earlier in the day with our dog along a rocky/uneven terrain trail and didn't want to blow our her paws! We will come back though and complete the full hike! This is a beautiful area!
The approach trails are well maintained and offer spectacular views on their own! There is a decent elevation gain right off the bat but nothing too strenuous. The trail leading to the top is steep and rocky but appears short and very manageable (I'll update this info once we complete the full hike).
At the time we were there (late November) we encountered no bugs, no snakes, very few other visitors, and a good number of deer grazing on the well maintained lawns in the public areas. In my opinion, this is a great time of year for this particular trail. It's not hot, there is little chance of encountering pests (bugs/ticks/snakes), no crowds, and, you can stop and take in the beauty and peacefulness of the surrounding landscape ... REALLY!
