"Tough hike. About 3miles around trip with 1,000ft of elevation gain according to my AllTrails. No shade at all. Still incredible views and the monument at the top is cool. Would definitely recommend doing this hike if in the area."
"Iconic hike. The wildflowers were unreal as of 6/3; the sweet aroma followed us all the way to the top. Much warmer than the coast so take that into account; shade is scant. We spent a hour at the top! We definitely took our time but this could be done in less than two hours."
"Short hike ("
"Great place to view the sunset and be above the clouds. I was able to see the peaks of the Channel Islands breaking through the cloud coverage. Had the peak all to myself on a lonely Tuesday evening. Even with some steep sections, it wasn't very hard hike. Extremely beautiful. Update: I came out at night to try some astro photography and while coming around a corner saw two sets of large eyes staring back at me. They were further up the trail but close enough for me to see that they were rather large animals and that they were definitely predator eyes. I am not familiar with this mountain range but I've ran into mountain lions in the dark before and those eyes were similar. Come to find out, there was a cougar attack in these ranges last year. Cougars most likely will run away but still, be careful."
"Relatively easy 6 miles hike. Not too much elevation gain and being near the ocean keeps the temperatures from getting too high. However, this means it’s much more desirable for the weekend crowd. So be sure to get there earlier than later. Our troop arrived by 7:30am and finished around 11:30am. All in all fantastic hike. Not too crowded and so refreshing to hike before it got into the 80s. It was really great to see how much vegetation is growing back after al the fires, even some of the oak trees are making a full come back. The contrast of the new growth and the charred landscape really made for a one of a kind hike."
