  very limited parking, so best to get there early, especially to beat the sun because it does get hot with limited shade along the trail. bring plenty of water. This is one of the most fun trails in the area because of the steep rock scramble at the trailhead, but once you get up to the lookout, there's plenty of flat trails for miles.

  Came out on a Sunday, the trail wasn’t overly crowded. We opted to do the small loop which was still a good amount of intensity but topped out at about 2.5 hrs for us full circle. Trails were clearly marked the whole way and we had a great time climbing up via the white trail and coming down on the more paved part of the blue trail. Parking is minimal but several cars were parked on the road shoulder which we ultimately did too, but had no issues.

  A difficult trail with lots of stop steps, big steep rocks. Watch out for snake!
  Recommended: gloves, hiking stick, long sleeves tops, pants.
  We took the green > white > red trail; which was a loop - more than 3 hours.
  Street parking available, portable restroom, a small (trailer) sandwich shop available

  Great for experienced hikers and beginners alike! There are tons of trails for those that just want to walk as well as harder terrain for those that want a challenge.
  
  Something to note is that the beginning to the rock scramble at the foot of the white trail is closed until July of 2023. They're doing maintenance. Your best best is to take the Wilkinson trail and connect at one of the view points.

  Great Hike not for the faint of heart. Be ready to climb some steep rocks. Wear boots and bring plenty of water and snacks.
