Cool hike up the mountain. Be sure to start early though. Best to stay out of the sun and heat. Fairly strenuous, definitely not if you're unfit. Take care to bring water. Depending on fitness, plan for at least a 90 min hike. Oh yes, the coffee cart at the start of the trail serves fantastic coffees and snacks too!

We had a great time on this hike! It was a bit of misty day, so views at the top were a bit impaired, but still thought it was worth the climb. It’s a fairly steep climb so be prepared for lots of stairs!
