About

This hike is no joke—it is steep, challenging, and definitely for those who are in good shape. The views from the first peak are absolutely spot on and arguably the best in the area. It gets super muddy and slippery when it rains, so bring good boots. It is a popular trail, so be prepared for some crowds, but the effort is worth it for the panoramic payoff.
