    A beautiful and fairly popular hike! Since you're hiking up a mountain, there is definitely some…read moreuphill climbing. I'd describe it as a gradual incline, so you'll still get a workout, but it's nothing too difficult. One thing I really appreciated was that there are benches all along the trail... almost like they knew people would need a few breaks! The view from the top is absolutely worth it. There are a few shortcuts you can take, but be aware they're much steeper than the main trail, both going up and coming back down. We did this hike with our teens, a toddler and a baby. Our toddler walked a surprisingly large portion before needing a ride (we came prepared with a carrier) and we also had grandparents in their 60s with us who completed the hike without much trouble. Overall, we saw people of all ages enjoying the trail, which says a lot about how accessible it is. The only downsides were that parking is pretty limited when it's busy and the bathrooms were unfortunately dirty and smelled bad. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this hike. The beautiful views, well maintained trail, and frequent benches make it a great outing for families and hikers of all ages.

    Nice and moderate trail suitable for kids ages 4 and up to hike on their own. Can get up and around…read moreand back down again in a couple hours. Good views from the very top. A few sights along the way including rather unimpressive looking depressions in the ground where miners of yore apparently went digging for minerals. Also, a shallow cave representing the same such activities.
