Reviews

Love this hiking trail it's my go to for a quick hike. Update: Used to be my favorite local hike, a perfect, easy escape. Unfortunately, the experience has changed. The volunteer presence in the parking lot, with their mandatory, repetitive lectures, has become a significant deterrent. Even familiar hikers are subjected to an aggressive, controlling approach, regardless of prior knowledge of the trails. While the park's beauty remains, the joy of a spontaneous hike has been lost.
