First off do not do this as a starter hike just getting back into the swing of things it’s a advanced hike! About 6 mile hike 3 up and 3 back! The incline makes the way up feel like 4 miles however! I LOVED IT! If you keep going your only 1.5 miles away from Mount Wilson. I’ll make that push next time forsure! Great views and benches on the way up to get to the best view once you get to the top! Nice bench on the top too! Have fun and a pretty scary trail I would bring mature children only if at all!
Pretty steep going up with lots of switchbacks affording beautiful scenic views. Parking lot holds about 25 cars but there’s also street parking. At 7:30 Sunday morning 5/17/20 the parking lot was almost full. Full by the time we returned an hour later and overflow onto the street. Not everyone wore masks when passing each other. This trail is a wonderful hidden gem!
