"We hiked the first mile of the trail then turned back. It does become steep at the top according to other hikers we met. It’s a beautifully wooded trail with a very nice water fall early on."

"This is a very pretty trail with nice vistas at the pulpit. It is a bit steep packing in just over 1,000 ft ascent in about 2 miles."

"One of my favorite hiking trail. Parking lot is somehow limited. The trail is moderate hike with beautiful waterfall in beginning of the trail. Some roots and stones and narrow path. After rain part of it muddy. Overall well worth the effort and the view."

"Nice hike . Did not do the entire stretch - just did around 30 min ( to and fro ) . It was uphill but not very steep elevation - this would be only the first 15 min of hike . Could see small waterfall in the first 10 min of hike . Pic attached ."
