"Short, steep hike with beautiful 360 views! This trail takes approx. 30 mins up, 20 mins downs. Avoid if recent conditions are muddy.
This trail is technically closed, but is not enforced with hefty fines as other closed trails are. It is also often hiked, so it doesn't feel closed as you will likely encounter other people.
Entrance to trail is marked with hazard/warning signs. There’s parking about 100 ft up the road, a bit to the right of the parking area.
You have to scramble a bit on a steep incline. There's not much to look at until the trail flattens out near the top, but overall it turns into a pretty straightforward hike and only moderately challenging at times.
Overall I loved this hike and would absolutely do it again! "
