February 23, 2021You can do the out & back, but I recommend the loop, you'll get nice views on the descent that aren't I-15. Steep, rocky, and exposed, so prepare accordingly. Full guide and videos on HikingGuy com
February 19, 2021February 19, 2021Hiked this for the first time and was not disappointed, probably one of my new favorites and bonus for not being too far of a drive. There are quite a few trails to choose from and we chose the long (super inclined) way up past and around the water tower which put us at nearly 6 miles round trip. It was super awesome that the trail markers reflected the floors of the twin towers and honored to complete this tribute to 9/11. Best part was everyone we passed was so friendly and helpful, it was really uplifting. So if you need a morale boost and a little chit chat, this hike was perfect. Not too hard (I’m an amateur), pretty well paved in most areas and maintained nicely (saw no trash littered), the view was amazing as well!

February 14, 2021First time hiking this trail. It’s pretty busy although I went on a Saturday. It’s hot some steep sections and portions are paved but overall it is a good hike and some great views. V3

February 6, 2021February 1, 2021January 31, 2021January 28, 2021January 17, 2021January 16, 2021Love this one. All incline to the summit. Rocky, and sometimes steep. We did it at night for the second time last night. Quiet, fun, and a good workout. *Make sure you never go alone at night, bring your knife/pepper spray, and a survival kit. There's noone to help you out there if something goes wrong.
January 3, 2021Good workout going up. Too many people if you’re looking for serenity . No shade so won’t be good during warm months
