Nice trail , stays on the creek for most of the way. I would recommend this one for someone starting out hiking or maybe if you are just trying to break in a new pair of hiking boots.

This was a great little challenging hike for my 6-year old. She and I finished it in 1 hr. 13 minutes, including stops. The first half is steep with lots of FUN stream crossings that kids just love! Then you get to catch your breath the last half of the hike. Very enjoyable.
