Hike
This is a good hike, take plenty of water and a map or gps would be a very good ideal. I went up the day after we got over a inch of rain so lot of places were washed out. i looked like one other person besides myself did this hike and they did it opposite of me. Nice trails, but most are not marked for this hike. Courtesy of AllTrails.com
