One of my faves. It isn't horribly crowded, visible trail, beautiful views, and decent workout.
Started mid morning around 10 and was back to the car by 1. Beautiful views at the top. The heat became intense at the end of the hike. I'd recommend starting as early as possible.
Always one of the best day hikes! Just went up prior to sunset on Sunday. We sheltered for a bit in the cave when the storm came through. The waterfalls which formed were wonderful!
Great views. Not too difficult.
