A really easy going summit hike with switchbacks. You end on a platform just below the summit and have amazing views of the valley below. Took less than an hour to get to the platform, sat on the rocks and enjoyed the view before heading back down. Can see the highway from the top and the trucks are pretty noisy closer to the beginning of the trail. | ||||

Hiked this one by myself and met a new friend at the end, also exploring the area! The water was crystal clear and amazing to swim in, even in July :) It took less than an hour for me but I can appreciate why it might take some longer; there was a decent blend of long ups and downs! Take lots of water if it's a hot day. |
