Reviewed by keirsten on 9/6/2010 Great hike with beautiful views. The trail is not marked particularly well, especially when you hit the rock faces. There are a few spots to stop along the way, one you would even think might be a summit... but don't be fooled! At this point, you are about halfway to the top. It looks like the top is just around the corner, but then you find more rocks to climb! The views at the top are worth it- panoramic view of surrounding mountains. The ground was really dry, which made the descent rather difficult- lost our footing quite easily. Took us 4 hours, and we stopped at a few places. We would do it again.
Reviewed by LWA on 1/3/2007 A little icy, a little snowy, a little slushy, made for a fun hike and stabilicers were enough. The trail was easy to follow at first but harder near the 2/3 mark where there were no visible markings for awhile. GPS got me to where I needed to go with no problems though. 
Reviewed by Melanie on 4/30/2006 Upon arrival the parking lot was full of people, however, while on the trail we only encountered a few couples who were coming back down. The trail is easy to follow, and is wide in some sections. There are a few places to stop and rest for snacks. Both of my senior dogs had less difficulty than I did. When you get closer to the top the more rocky it gets, so be carefull!, you still will need to climb down. Overall, it was nice, but nothing exceptionally fantastic.
