Took about 45 minutes up at a nice pace and a little longer coming down safely due to the terrain.

Nice trail to really make you sweat but short enough for you to have many spots to pace yourself.

This trail is challenging because of the elevation gain and the distance between the stairs and rocks. Very uneven terrain but that’s why I like it. I didn’t give 5 stars because it’s relatively short (3 mi total)
