Reviews
"Great hike. Dont miss. Different routes for different lengths of trips."
"A semi-casual ascent up a beautiful mountain. Great for easy daytime hiking"
"Make sure you have protein before you go. Wear good hiking shoes. It CAN be for beginners if you're in somewhat decent shape. Lots of wet rocks. Be careful and happy hiking!"
"This is a moderate difficulty trail. Great views from the top, worth the extra mile to go to the fire tower. Bring good shoes, and enough water, you'll probably be sweating on the way up."
"Oh boy the first part of the trail is a real schlep but once you hit the first lookout point it's totally worth it. Not too bad from the first lookout to the fire tower. Great views from here. (I can see my house from here lol)"
