Not sure who rated this as an easy hike... yes the beginning of the hike from downtown Highlands is on a paved road but it's extremely steep and you climb on a windy straight up route for well over a mile. You see some beautiful homes with amazing views then come to a gravel road then finally the final wooded trail path to wonderful panoramic mountain views. My husband and I are both in our 50's and in decent shape and we found the hike definitely moderate at least. Passed several other hikers and no one carries water which surprises me! I recommend doing so!
Couldn't find the trail head. Very confusing.
